Popis: Polyfunctional p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arenes tetrasubstituted at the lower rim with nitrogen-containing fragments in the cone, partial cone, and 1,3-alternate conformations were investigated in the processes of calf thymus DNA packaging. The influence of the macrocycle structure and composition on their ability to pack DNA into nano-sized particles was considered. UV spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering results showed that the synthesized p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arenes functionalized at the lower rim with polyamine fragments in the cone and 1,3-alternate conformations can compact calf thymus DNA into nanosized particles (
