Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) is a dendrimer structure with a polypeptide backbone architecture. It has been utilized in a wide variety of applications but has found significant utility in biomedical applications. PAMAM has been studied extensively due to its globular structure that is similar to proteins found in the body. The branched architecture and overall size provide a favorable environment for host-guest interactions and allows for the loading of small molecules for therapeutic delivery. Although PAMAM has many benefits for use in the area of therapeutic delivery, a primary area of concern for this molecular architecture is the terminal amines that serve as the end-groups for the branches. At physiological conditions, these terminal amines are protonated resulting in a positive surface charge density on the dendritic structure. These protonated amines are a primary source of toxicity associated with PAMAM dendrimers. Literature shows that too high of a positive surface charge density can lead to various forms of toxicity, such as cell lysis. Specific to PAMAM dendrimers, the size and generation of the dendrimer dramatically affects the ability for this macromolecule to interact with negatively charged biological components leading to myotoxicity or the disruption the secondary structure of proteins.To utilize the advantageous properties of PAMAM, significant efforts have been made by scientists to decrease the overall positive surface charge density of PAMAM dendrimers. Post-functionalization of PAMAM with moieties such as polyethylene glycol, glucose derivatives, or even reversible binding of biological components such as DNA via electrostatic interactions have proven to be successful routes to decrease the overall toxicity of PAMAM.The drawback of using systems such as these is that these modifications require for the backbone architecture of PAMAM to be altered, thus changing the physiochemical properties of the dendritic structure. In this body of work, we highlight the design of nanocarriers that incorporate the PAMAM structure as a primary component on the polymeric system. We explore the effects of terminal end-group modifications to the PAMAM structure to elucidate the interfacial interactions between biomacromolecules and functionalized-PAMAM biomaterials, without altering the polypeptide backbone architecture of the dendrimer. This allows us to take advantage of the favorable properties of PAMAM, decrease the overall positive surface charge density of PAMAM, and better understand how surface modifications can affect the physiochemical properties of PAMAM dendrimers.
