Synthesis And Characterization Of Thermoresponsive Poly(N-Isoproylacrylamide)-DNA Bioconjugates

Bioconjugates (PNIPAAm−graft−DNA) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) grafted with single-stranded (ss) DNA were synthesized via radical copolymerization. The bioconjugates self-assembled above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solution to form micelle-like colloidal nan...
