The mechanism causing variability in DNA transfection efficacy for low-molecular-weight pDMAEMA (poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and pDMAEMA-b-pHEMA (poly(2-(dimethyl amino)ethylmethacrylate)-block-poly(2-hydroxyl methacrylate)) has so far remained unclear, apart from the evidence of beneficial effects of the pHEMA grafting. This study has explicitly characterized the
