Investigations have been carried out to probe the interactions between double-stranded DNA and amineterminated, ethylenediamine core polyamidoamine starburst dendrimers generation 2 (G2), generation 4 (G4), and generation 7 (G7). Ethidium bromide is used as a fluorescent probe for this study. Under our experimental conditions, the results show that there is mainly one binding mode between ethid...

Understanding the relationship between the location of nanoparticles (NPs) in an organic matrix and their catalytic performances is essential for catalyst design. Here we show that catalytic activities of Au, Ag and CuNPs stabilized by dendrimers using coordination to intradendritic triazoles, galvanic replacement or stabilization outside dendrimers strongly depends on their location. AgNPs are...

In this study, we demonstrate the use of natural language processing methods to extract, from nanomedicine literature, numeric values of biomedical property terms of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. We have developed a method for extracting these values for properties taken from the NanoParticle Ontology, using the General Architecture for Text Engineering and a Nearly-New Information Extraction Sy...

The sol-gel co-condensation of organo-phosphonates to titanium alkoxides enables access to novel organic-inorganic hybrids based on phosphonate-bridged titanium dioxide. In this contribution, we bring new perspectives to the long established sol-gel mineralization of titanium alkoxide species, by harnessing the virtues of the well-designed phosphonate-terminated phosphorus dendrimers as reactiv...

conclusions the ppi-g2 dendrimer with end amine groups exhibited a positive impact on the removal of dominant bacterial isolated strains. therefore, it is possible to use these nanodendrimers as a safe and effective material for water disinfection in the future. results the most important isolated bacteria were escherichia coli 37 (48.7%), klebsiella oxytoca 12 (15.8%), proteus mirabilis 3 (4%)...

the eccentricity connectivity index of a molecular graph g is defined as (g) = av(g)deg(a)ε(a), where ε(a) is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting a to othervertices of g and deg(a) is degree of vertex a. here, we compute this topological index forsome infinite classes of dendrimer graphs.

This study was aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity of recombinant plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), pBud-H5-green fluorescent protein (GFP)-interferon-regulatory factor (IRF)3 following delivery using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and transactivator of transcription (TAT)-conjugated PAMAM dendrimer as well as the effect of IRF3 as the genetic adjuvant. BALB/c mice were vaccinated transde...
