The present application relates to functionalized nanodiamonds, to complexes comprising a functionalized nanodiamond reversibly bound to a nucleic acid and to compositions comprising such functionalized nanodiamonds and complexes. In particular, the functionalized nanodiamonds comprise at least one basic amino acid covalently linked to a nanodiamond. The present application also includes methods and uses of the complexes and compositions, for example for delivering a nucleic acid to a cell. |
