Modular Assembly of Dynamic Polymer Networks From Heteroaffinity Cross‐Links to Multivalent Proteins

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study develops a method to modularly assemble oligomeric binding proteins, like streptavidin, using heterobifunctional cross‐linkers that have both a strong‐ and a weak‐affinity binding moiety. These dynamic cross‐linkers enable the assembly of polymer networks with unique meta‐stable nonequilibrium topologies, and that exhibit chemically tunable ...
