By fine-tuning of intra- and intermolecular interactions, various strategies based on supramolecular chemistry have been developed for the self-assembly of natural or synthetic molecules into soft and nanostructured materials with some essential features of natural materials. Supramolecular nanostructures assembled from these bioactive functional building blocks hold a great significance not only for their basic research, but also for their potential for use in different biomaterial applications such as virus mimics, carriers for therapeutic agents, scaffoldsfor tissue engineering, and so on. In this research porject, we propose to study the synthesis andsupramolecular assembly of saccharide-peptide copolymers and their potential applications. The diversity and complexity of structures and functions in these polymer systems can be increased due to the involvement of these biological segments in a number of biochemical phenomena. We believe, through ingenious design of these polymers, the supramolecular nanostructures can be useful for efficient delivery of therapeutic agents. The possibility of employing these supramolecular nanostructures as carriers for therapeutic agents against liver cancer will be explored in this proposed research.標靶性醣-聚氨酸高分子載體於肝癌治療之研究
