Various modifications of alginate-poly-L-lysine microcapsules were made, such as the inclusion of polyethylenimine (PEI) or carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) in the core and the coating of bis(polyoxyethylene bis[amine]) (PEGA) onto the microcapsule membrane surface. A characterization of the modified microcapsules
The synthesis and olefin metathesis activity in protic solvents of 7, a phosphine-free ruthenium alkylidene bound to a hydrophilic solid support are reported. This heterogeneous catalyst promotes relatively efficient ring closing- and cross-metathesis reactions in both methanol and water. The
The design of hydrogels that simultaneously report protease activity and remove excess protease from solution is elucidated. The hydrogels, based on amino-PEGA, combine enzyme-specific peptides flanked with FRET complimented by charged amino acid residues that facilitate protease uptake via short
Maleimide end functionalized polymers for site-selective conjugation to free cysteines of proteins were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. A furan-protected maleimide chain transfer agent (CTA) was employed in the RAFT polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate

This paper describes the optimization of a synthesis of a difficult sequence related to a 12-mer sequence of a Pan DR epitope (PADRE). Elongation was followed by on-line monitoring of the N(alpha)-Fmoc removal adapted for the batch methodology. Studying the
