Abstract

Combinations of synthetic and natural macromolecules offer a route to new functional materials. While biological and polymer chemistry may not be natural bedfellows, many researchers are focusing their attention on the benefits of combining these fields. Recent advances in living radical polymerization have provided methods to build tailor‐made macromolecular moieties using relatively simple processes. This has led to a plethora of block copolymers, end‐functional polymers and polymers with a whole range of biological recognition abilities. This review covers work carried out until late 2006 combining living radical polymerization with proteins and peptides in the rapidly‐expanding field of bioconjugation.

Four peptides and serum albumin have been derivatized with the bicyclic anydride of diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid. Procedures were developed to isolate the labelled species and determine the degree of derivatization. By using perturbed angular correlation of gamma-ray spectroscopy it is possib
