An Au NP anchored with several low generation dendrimers through Au-amine coordination bonds. Addition of DNA/siRNA leads to an increase of local acidity, which protonates the tertiary amines, weakening the Au-amine interactions. As a result, the Au NPs are released from the dendrimers and are not included in the final DNA/siRNA nanoparticles.
