Biodegradable and biocompatible carbon-chain polymer-protein conjugates as carriers of biologically active substances: Problems of synthesis, risks of application and how to overcome them

Abstract

Problems of preparation, properties and probable avenues of application of starlike carbon-chain polymer-protein conjugates as carriers of biologically active substances are presented and discussed. Special attention is directed to methodology of conjugate preparation, possible means of optimization of conjugate properties and routes of their application. © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
