Dendrimers and Viruses

Dendrimers, as hyperbranched synthetic well-defined molecules, have been suggested as potential antivirals from several reasons, such as their small sizes (nanometers) and their ease of preparation and functionalization. Importantly they can be potent inh

Preface

The purpose of this book is to show the progress in the field of synthesis and biomedical applications of peptide-, glyco-, glycopeptide dendrimers and analogous dendrimeric structures. This booklet is intended to graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and scientists working in the area of organic chemistry, biochemistry, nanoscience, biology, medicinal chemistry, and biomedical applications. Dendrimers and dendritic macromolecules were pioneered in the 1980s. They represent a dynamica
