The conjugation of hydrophilic polymers to proteins is an effective approach prolonging their circulation time in the bloodstream and, hence, improving delivery target region interest. In this work, we report synthesis protein-polymer conjugates using a highly water-soluble sulfoxide-containing polymer, poly(2-(methylsulfinyl)ethyl acrylate) (PMSEA), through combination "grafting-to" and "grafting-from" methods. Oligomeric MSEA was synthesized by conventional reversible...
