Peptide Dendrimers

Peptide dendrimers are a class of highly branched molecules based on unnatural and natural amino acids. They are synthesized through a divergent method.

Peptide dendrimers can be used for variety of purposes such as antimicrobials, and transfection of nucleic acids.

They were shown to be pH responsive thanks ot intrinsic properties differences between the side chain and N-terminii of the lysine.

Moreover, a new class of dendrimers based on peptide, called peptide dendrimers, were are in use for transfection of various nucleic acids
