Thiolated PAMAM dendrimer-coated CdSe/ZnSe nanoparticles as protein transfection agents.
Functionalisation of PAMAM dendrimers with a small number of thiol groups makes them good ligands for CdSe/ZnSe nanoparticles; the particles coated with thiolated dendrimers have good cell permeability and are potent transfection agents.
