Popis: We report the combined enzymatic synthesis of five glucan dendrimers with control of molecular weight and particle size. Amphiphilic properties were introduced through dodecyl group substitution. A Tokyo-green fluorescence assay showed that amphiphilic glucan dendrimers were able to successfully deliver active β-galactosidase to cells.
