The immobilization of biological ligands (such as biotin and peptides) onto biodegradable polymer surfaces, including poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) sutures, is complicated by the absence of functional groups on the polymer backbone. We demonstrate a method for overcoming this problem, by attaching (+)-b
