Interactions between two precisely defined three-dimensional architectures (DNA and dendrimers) are described. Highly synergetic effects occur, as illustrated in two cases: dendrimers can be used as three-dimensional linkers for oligonucleotides, affording highly sensitive microarrays (biochips), and positively charged dendrimers strongly interact with DNA, allowing penetration inside cells (genetic transfection).
本文描述了两种精确界定的三维结构(DNA和树枝状聚合物)之间的相互作用。研究发现,二者之间存在高度协同效应,具体体现在两个方面:树枝状聚合物可作为寡核苷酸的三维连接体,用于制备高灵敏度微阵列(生物芯片);带正电荷的树枝状聚合物能与DNA发生强烈相互作用,实现细胞内递送(基因转染)。
