a Contents of TT, DBCO, and NH2 groups were evaluated by UV–VIS spectrophotometry; the content of cholesterol was determined using NMR Spectroscopy. b The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and dispersity (Ð) were determined using SEC with RI and MALS detection. The analysis was performed using a TSK 3000 SWXL column with methanol/0.3 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.5 (4/1, v/v), as a mobile phase. c The mean hydrodynamic diameter (DH) was obtained by DLS with intensity of scattered light detected at angle θ = 173° in PBS.
