Synthesis of Poly(Amino Acids) Using Ring Opening Polymerization
摘要
Synthetic poly(amino acid)s are a class of promising materials for biomedical applications. Ring opening polymerization (ROP) based on N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) is a commonly used method for synthesizing poly(amino acid)s with controlled molecular weight distribution and tunable amino acid sequence. Herein, we introduce two representative protocols for synthesizing poly(amino acid)s with homogenous or multiblock amino acid units based on ROP.
