Polymer bioconjugates: Modern design concepts toward precision hybrid materials

Design of Hybrid Conjugated Polymer Materials: 1) Novel Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Semiconductors and 2) Surface Modification Via Grafting Approaches

Molecular design of hybrid organic-inorganic materials

Hybrid organic-inorganic materials offer a wide range of interesting applications especially in optics. Chemistry plays a major role in the elaboration and comprehension of such materials. Sol-gel process provide a method to blend, down to the molecular scale, organic and inorganic components. Examples of hybrid organic-inorganic materials for optics and optical characterizations of hybrid mate...

Microbristle in gels: Toward all-polymer reconfigurable hybrid surfaces

Fluorescently tagged polymer bioconjugates from protein derived macroinitiators.

BSA and lysozyme have been transformed into macroinitiators for living radical polymerisation and used to produce well-defined bioconjugates which can be fluorescently labelled providing a versatile strategy for the preparation of bioconjugates which is complementary to traditional PEGylation.

Self-Assembly of Temperature-Responsive Protein–Polymer Bioconjugates

We report a simple temperature-responsive bioconjugate system comprising superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) decorated with poly[(oligo ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PEGMA) polymers. We used amber suppression to site-specifically incorporate the non-canonical azide-functional amino acid p-azidophenylalanine (pAzF) into sfGFP at different positions. The azide moiety on m...
