title: Amphiphilic poly(N-propargylamide) with galactose and lauryloyl groups: synthesis and properties.
abstract: An amphiphilic poly(N-propargylamide) with galactose and lauryloyl groups was synthesized by copolymerization of the corresponding N-propargylamide monomers using a Rh catalyst. The obtained copolymer formed a one-handed helical conformation and molecular aggregates in water. The observations by fluorescence microscopy in a cell culture experiment in the presence of dye-labeled copolymer indicated that the copolymer was incorporated into the cells.
