Chemicals and reagents were used
as obtained from Sigma-Aldrich
or Acros without further purification. 1H NMR spectra were
recorded on a Varian MR400 (at 400 MHz) at ambient temperature. The
splitting patterns are designated as follows: s (singlet); d (doublet);
dd (double doublet); t (triplet); q (quartet); m (multiplet), and
br (broad). 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian MR400
(100.6 MHz) at ambient temperature. Chemical shifts are denoted in
δ (ppm), referenced to the residual protic solvent peak. Coupling
constants J are denoted in Hz. Masses were recorded with a Thermo
scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer. Silicycle Siliaflash
P60, 40–63 m, (230–400 mesh) was used for column chromatography.
Irradiations were performed with Spectroline ENB-280C/FE UV lamps
(8 W). For analysis by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM),
the turbid solution (2.5 μL) was placed on a glow-discharge
holy carbon-coated grid (Quantifoil 3.5/1, QUANTIFOIL Micro Tools
GmbH, Großlöbichau, Germany). After blotting, the grid
was rapidly frozen in liquid ethane (Vitrobot, FEI, Eindhoven, The
Netherlands) and stored in liquid nitrogen until measurements. Grids
were observed in a Gatan model 626 cryo-stage in a Philips CM120 or
Tecnai T20 cryo-electron microscope operating at 120 or 200 KeV. Images
were recorded under low-dose conditions on a slow-scan CCD camera.

Solvent Purification and NMR Spectroscopy

CH2Cl2 was dried by distillation over CaH2, and n-hexane by distillation over Na, benzophenone and tetraglyme. For NMR, deuterated solvents were dried by adding 3 Å molecular sieves to freshly opened bottles. All dry solvents were stored over 3 Å molecular sieves in a glovebox. Pyridine was redistilled prior to use. All other chemicals were used without further purification. For all synthesis performed in a glovebox, glassware had been dried at 150 °C in an oven, or in vacuo, at least overnight. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance Neo 500 MHz spectrometer equipped with a TXO cryogenic probe, or an Agilent MR-400 equipped with an OneNMR probe. Chemical shifts are reported on the δ scale (ppm), with the residual solvent signal as an internal reference; CD2Cl2 (δH 5.32, δC 53.84), CDCl3 (δH 7.26, δC 77.16). Nitromethane (δN 0.0 ppm) was used as an external standard for 15N. To assign the 1H NMR resonances chemical shift (δ), multiplicity, coupling constants (J Hz) and number of hydrogens were considered. 2D spectra (1H,15N HMBC, 1H,13C HSQC, 1H,13C HMBC, TOCSY, and COSY) also aided correct assignment. Multiplicities are denoted as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), h (heptet), and m (multiplet). MestReNova 12.0.2. was used to process the NMR spectra.

Nanogel composition was estimated using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained using a 400 MHz NMR (Varian Direct Drive 400 or Agilent MR 400) at 25°C. To determine composition, lyophilized nanogels were diluted in D2O or DMSO-d6 at 10 – 15 mg/mL and disulfide crosslinks were degraded via addition of tris(2-carboxylethyl)phosphine to a final concentration of 10mM for 24 hours prior to acquisition. Spectra were analyzed on MestReNova 10.0 software.
Nanoparticle hydrodynamic diameters were measured using a Malvern ZetaSizer NanoZS with a MPT-2 multipurpose titrator. Nanogel samples were suspended at 0.5 mg/mL in 1x PBS and adjusted to pH 4.0. Hydrodynamic diameter was measured in triplicate at the initial pH and in increments of 0.3 up to pH 8.5. The titrator adjusted pH using 0.1 N NaOH, 0.1 N HCl, or 1 N HCl as needed. Each measurement was the average of a minimum of 12 tens second acquisitions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
