Exploring the Effects of Polymer Functionality on the Activity and Stability of Lysozyme and Cellulase Conjugates
EXPLORING THE EFFECTS OF POLYMER FUNCTIONALITY ON THE ACTIVITY AND STABILITY OF LYSOZYME AND CELLULASE CONJUGATES by Melissa Eileen Dougherty Biomacromolecules made by covalent attachment of polymers to the surfaces of proteins are an interesting area of research with significant applications in drug therapies and growing interest in energy and nanotechnology. Protein-polymer conjugates are typ...
متن کاملDesigning polymer conjugates as lysosomotropic nanomedicines.
Marriage of cell biology (the concept of 'lysosomotropic drug delivery') and the realization that water-soluble synthetic polymers might provide an ideal platform for targeted drug delivery led to the first synthetic polymer-drug conjugates that entered clinical trials as anticancer agents. Conceptually, polymer conjugates share many features with other macromolecular drugs, but they have the a...
متن کاملDesign of Self-Assembling Protein-Polymer Conjugates.
Protein-polymer conjugates are of particular interest for nanobiotechnology applications because of the various and complementary roles that each component may play in composite hybrid-materials. This chapter focuses on the design principles and applications of self-assembling protein-polymer conjugate materials. We address the general design methodology, from both synthetic and genetic perspec...
متن کاملSelf-adjuvanting polymer-peptide conjugates as therapeutic vaccine candidates against cervical cancer.
Dendrimers are structurally well-defined, synthetic polymers with sizes and physicochemical properties often resembling those of biomacromolecules (e.g., proteins). As a result, they are promising candidates for peptide-based vaccine delivery platforms. Herein, we established a synthetic pathway to conjugate a human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 protein-derived peptide antigen to a star-polymer to cr...
متن کاملAnticancer nanoparticulate polymer‐drug conjugate
We review recent progress in polymer-drug conjugate for cancer nanomedicine. Polymer-drug conjugates, including the nanoparticle prepared from these conjugates, are designed to release drug in tumor tissues or cells in order to improve drugs' therapeutic efficacy. We summarize general design principles for the polymer-drug conjugate, including the synthetic strategies, the design of the chemica...
