Visible light induced fast synthesis of protein-polymer conjugates: controllable polymerization and protein activity

摘要

Herein visible tight is used to induce RAFT polymerization from protein for preparing protein-polymer conjugates at ambient temperature. Polymerization is fast and can be conveniently controlled with irradiation time. By site-specific polymerization of NIPAm to protein, the protein activity is maintained and in certain cases it presents an efficient on-off-switchable property.
