Advancing biotechnology spurs the development of new pharmaceutically engineered gene delivery vehicles. Poly(L-histidine) ¿PLH¿ has been shown to induce membrane fusion at endosomal pH values, whereas PLL has a well documented efficacy in polyplex formation. Therefore, N-Ac-poly(L-histidine)-graft-poly(L-lysine) ¿PLH-g-PLL¿ was synthesized

Analytica chimica acta, 710, 58-64 (2011-11-30)
We report for the first time the use of polyhistidine (Polyhis) to efficiently disperse multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The optimum dispersion MWCNT-Polyhis was obtained by sonicating for 30 min 1.0 mg mL(-1) MWCNTs in 0.25 mg mL(-1) Polyhis solution prepared
