Poly(ethylene glycol) 4-cyano-4-(phenylcarbonothioylthio)pentanoate

ペプチドやタンパク質のような生体高分子に合成ポリマーを結合させて修飾することで、特性が強化された極めて高度な新しい種類の生体材料が得られています。

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is rapidly moving to the forefront in construction of drug and gene delivery vehicles.

Humankind has utilized protein materials throughout its existence, starting with the use of materials such as wool and silk for warmth and protection from the elements and continuing with the use of recombinant DNA techniques to synthesize proteins with unique and useful properties.

The modification of biomacromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, through the attachment of synthetic polymers has led to a new family of highly advanced biomaterials with enhanced properties.
