摘要: We present main results of molecular dynamics simulations that we have carried out in order to investigate structural properties polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. Obtained data confirm the PAMAM dendrimer structure proposed by experiments, performed means X-ray scattering (SAXS) and quasi-elastic light (QELS) techniques.
