GMP polyamine hybrid hydrogels: enhanced gel strength probed by z-spectroscopy

Aguilar, Juan A.; Belda, Raquel; García-España, Enrique; Morris, Gareth A.; Steed, Jonathan W.

Abstract

The self-assembling tendencies of guanosine-5'-monophosphate (GMP) can be drastically increased using polyamines, with potential applications in the production of biocompatible smart materials, as well as for the design of anti-tumoral drugs based on G-quadruplex stabilization. Results from scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), rheology and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) z-spectroscopy studies are presented.
