PROTEIN-POLYMER CONJUGATES AND SYNTHESIS THEREOF

摘要

A method of synthesizing a protein-polymer conjugate includes the steps: covalently attaching at least one controlled radical polymerization initiator to a protein to form a protein-initiator composition; and mixing the protein-initiator composition with at least one monomer which undergoes controlled radical polymerization in the presence of the protein-initiator composition under conditions suitable to initiate the controlled radical polymerization.
