Saccharide–Peptide Hybrid Copolymers as Biomaterials

Abstract

Au natural: A new class of synthesized biomaterials (saccharide–peptide hybrid copolymers shown) are biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic. The cationic saccharide–peptide hybrid copolymers were also shown to be effective in compacting and transferring plasmid DNA into cells.
