Examining the chemical modification of biological polymers and
the emerging applications of this technology, Chemical Modification
of Biological Polymers reflects the change in emphasis in this
subsection of biotechnology from the study of protein structure and
function toward applications in therapeutics and diagnostics.
Highlights
- The basic organic chemistry of the modification proteins,
nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and their
applications
- New analytical technologies used to characterize the chemical
modification of biological polymers
- Identification of in vivo, non-enzymatic chemical modification
of biological polymers
- Specific chemical modifications to generate biopharmaceutical
products
This book covers the basics on the organic chemistry underlying
the chemical modification of biopolymers, including updates on the
use of various chemical reagents. It describes the current status
of chemical modification of biological polymers and emerging
applications of this technology in biotechnology. These
technologies are important for the manufacture of conjugate
proteins used in drug delivery, for the preparation of nucleic acid
microarrays, and for the preparation of hydrogels and other
materials used in tissue engineering.
