Abstract
⺠The redox-active ferrocenyl lipid BFDMA can be chemically oxidized using Fe(III). ⺠Fe(III)-oxidized BFDMA transfects cells but electrochemically oxidized BFDMA does not. ⺠Characterization reveals similar nanostructures but differences in zeta potentials. ⺠Treatment with EDTA restores the “inactivity” of Fe(III)-oxidized BFDMA. ⺠Redox control of transfection can be achieved by adding chemical oxidizing and reducing agents.
