The invention provides polymers comprising Formula I:
wherein monomer is a repeating unit comprising 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 carbon atoms and the monomers are linked together through amide or ester bonds; n is about 6 to about 1000; and Linker is an optionally substituted carbon chain that is optionally interrupted by moieties such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or silicon. Charge is a moiety having a positive or negative charge on a heteroatom, such as nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, or sulfur; where the Linker separates the monomer and the Charge by at least six linear atoms. The invention also provides methods of preparing the polymers and the copolymers and methods of using the polymers and copolymers, for example, as drug delivery systems, as membrane penetrating peptides, and as therapeutic agents.
Genedelivery vehicles: Helical, cationic polypeptides with light‐responsive domains showed potent membrane activity and promoted efficient cellular internalization of DNA (see picture). After transfection, a light trigger induces protecting‐group removal to expose anionic carboxylate groups. The reduced cationic charge and helix distortion of the polypeptides result in enhanced DNAunpacking and reduced
基因传递载体:具有光响应结构域的螺旋阳离子多肽显示出强大的膜活性并促进 DNA 的有效细胞内化(见图)。转染后,光触发诱导保护基去除以暴露阴离子羧酸盐基团。由于消除了膜活性,多肽的阳离子电荷减少和螺旋扭曲导致 DNA 解包增强和材料毒性降低。
