title: Nucleo-copolymers: oligonucleotide-based amphiphilic diblock copolymers.
abstract: For the first time, poly(butadiene) has been covalently linked to an oligonucleotide sequence and the resulting nucleo-copolymer exhibits amphiphilic properties in dilute aqueous solution, self-assembling into nanometer-sized vesicular structures.
