An easy gene assembling strategy for light-promoted transfection by combining host-guest interaction of cucurbit[7]uril and gold nanoparticles

Abstract Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), a representative member of the host family cucurbit[n]uril, can host-guest interact with many guest molecules such as adamantane, viologen and naphthalene derivatives. This host-guest interaction provides an easy strategy in gene vector assembling. Furthermore, CB[7...
