報告人簡介：

I will report the integration of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and ring-opening polymerization of the amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) to allow facile synthesis of brush-like polymers containing polypeptide brush. ROMP of N-trimethylsilyl norbornenes renders the preparation of poly(norbornene)s bearing pendant N-TMS groups. Polypeptide brushes with up to 1000 degree of polymerization can be obtained with low polydispersity. Cooperative polymerization of NCA was found and the polymerization of controlled by the brush polypeptide helices. I will also present sugar molecule mediated in vivo cancer targeting.  We successfully developed azido-sugar derivatives that can label triple negative breast cancer and enable successful in vivo targeting.
