Over the last ten years the attention of the pharmaceutical industry has shifted away from small molecules to focus on new biologics such as antibodies, proteins and therapeutic peptides. Herein, peptides have emerged as a particularly interesting category ...
Cyclic peptide disulfides (CXC) are an important class of biomolecules. The conjugation of cyclic peptide disulfides to synthetic polymers, however, is often difficult due to the presence of the disulfide bond combined with other potentially reactive side ...
Polymer-protein conjugates generated from side chain functional synthetic polymers are attractive because they can be easily further modified with, for example, labeling groups or targeting ligands. The residue specific modification of proteins with side c ...
Virus filtration by size exclusion is a robust means of eliminating viruses in blood or pharma products. Porous polymer membranes with a narrow size distribution are used to allow passage of the protein product but retain viruses. The chosen polymer must r ...
Synthetic cationic polymers are of interest as both nonviral vectors for intracellular gene delivery and antimicrobial agents. For both applications synthetic polymers containing guanidine groups are of special interest since such kind of organic compounds ...
The squaric acid mediated bioconjugation reaction is an attractive approach for the amine-selective protein modification with side-chain functional polymers. This manuscript presents 3 squaric acid based atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiato ...
The development of various controlled radical polymerization techniques as well as site- and residue specific strategies to modify peptides/proteins with synthetic polymers have made polymer chemistry a powerful tool to address materials problems at the bi ...
Polymer therapeutics is a class of (bio)hybrid materials that include a plethora of biologically active (synthetic) macromolecules that either consist of polymeric drugs, drug-polymer conjugates, peptide/protein-polymer conjugates or of drug, peptide or pr ...
Proteins play an essential role in all biological processes and have been attracting more and more attention as drug candidates due to their high specificity and activity. However, their use as therapeutics has been seriously held back given that their abi ...
Enzymes are biocatalysts widely used in a large number of industrial biotech processes as they offer clear advantages over their chemical counterparts. Indeed, enzymes often show high substrate selectivity along with elevated turnover rates. Enzymatic cata ...
