1. Introduction
Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are nanosized, hyperbranched
polymers, widely studied for biomedical applications as
nanocarriers in many areas including brain-targeted drug delivery and
gene therapy [1,2]. Several lines of experimental and in silico evidence
suggested direct interaction of dendrimers and model membranes,
although the molecular mechanisms remained elusive [3–6]. Solidstate
NMR [7] and atomic force microscopy [3,8] data as well as
coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation [6] indicated that
NH2 functionalized PAMAM generation 5 (G5-NH2) dendrimer may
