Journal ArticleDOI

FDA-approved poly(ethylene glycol)–protein conjugate drugs

TL;DR: PEGylation or covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) improves the pharmacokinetic properties of protein drugs, resulting in improved patient quality of life and in vivo circulation lifetimes and dosages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic protein-polymer conjugates: advancing beyond PEGylation.

TL;DR: A summary of protein-PEG conjugates for therapeutic use and alternative technologies in various stages of development as well as suggestions for future directions are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

In situ preparation of protein-"smart" polymer conjugates with retention of bioactivity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bioactive "smart" polymer conjugates can be synthesized by polymerizing from defined initiation sites on proteins, thus preparing the polymer conjUGates in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning Molecular Interactions for Highly Reproducible and Efficient Formamidinium Perovskite Solar Cells via Adduct Approach

TL;DR: An efficient and reproducible method to fabricate highly uniform FAPbI3 films via the adduct approach with a stronger interaction between NMP with the FA cation than DMSO, which facilitates the formation of a stable FAI·PbI2·NMP adduct.
Journal ArticleDOI

Streptavidin as a macroinitiator for polymerization: in situ protein-polymer conjugate formation.

TL;DR: This communication reports the first example of polymerization initiated from specific domains on proteins by modified streptavidin and promises to enable easy synthesis and purification of a variety of polymer-protein conjugates.
