Protein-polymer bioconjugates via a versatile oxygen tolerant photoinduced controlled radical polymerization approach

Amphiphilic protein-polymer conjugates remain largely unexplored due to synthetic protocols being complex. Here the authors explore an oxygen tolerant, photoinduced reversible-deactivated radical polymerization approach, which readily affords quantitative yields within 2 h and thus avoids damage to...
