Abstract : Introduction of nucleic acids into cells is an important biotechnology research field which also holds great promise fortherapeutic applications. One of the key steps in the gene delivery process is compaction of DNA into nanometricparticles. The study of DNA condensing properties of three linear cationic triblock copolymers poly(ethylenimine-b-propylene glycol-b-ethylenimine), namely, LPEI50-PPG36-LPEI50, LPEI19-PPG36-LPEI19, and LPEI14-PPG68-LPEI14,indicates that proper DNA condensation is driven by both the charge and the size of the respective cationic hydrophiliclinear polyethylenimine (LPEI) and neutral hydrophobic poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) parts. Atomic force microscopywas used to investigate the interactions of the triblock copolymers with plasmid DNA at the single molecule level and toenlighten the mechanism involved in DNA condensation.
