PEG-Polypeptide Block Copolymers as pH-Responsive Endosome-Solubilizing Drug Nanocarriers

Herein we report the potential of click chemistry-modified polypeptide-based block copolymers for the facile fabrication of pH-sensitive nanoscale drug delivery systems. PEG-polypeptide copolymers with pendant amine chains were synthesized by combining N-carboxyanhydride-based ring-opening polymeriz...
