Charge shielding effects of PEG bound to NH2-terminated PAMAM dendrimers – an experimental approach by Johnston, Brandon M, Grodzinsky, Alan J, Hammond, Paula T

“…We find that covalently bound PEG chains reduce the electrostatic binding affinity more significantly than what can be achieved through covalent bonds only. Contrary to previous thought, this reduction is not explained by the steric hindrance effects of PEG chains, suggesting that other, non-covalent interactions between PEG and PAMAM are present. …”
