Protein‐polymer conjugates represent a dynamic class of hybrid materials that combine the inherent biological function and specificity of proteins with the versatile properties of synthetic polymers.

Biohybrid Solutions is pioneering a new approach to bioconjugate production using polymer-based protein engineering. This innovation allows more control, expands the available polymer library, and ...

(Nanowerk News) Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone ...

Bio-based protein polymers can be derived from a variety of renewable feedstocks, including agricultural products (for example corn or soybeans), alternative sources such as algae or food waste, or ...

A technique developed by Miami University associate professors of chemistry and biochemistry Dominik Konkolewicz and Rick Page may help enable more rapid and efficient development of new materials for ...

A new random heteropolymer with mixed hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups coats proteins to help them remain folded and active in environments that would normally unfold and inactivate them (Science ...

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and at the University of California San Diego have developed a potent injectable therapy that the results of rodent studies showed can protect the heart from ...

A recent Science paper discusses the utilization of a previously reported synthetic Escherichia coli to produce virus-resistant synthetic polymers for future drug production applications. By ...
