Abstract
Background: Polymer-peptide/protein conjugates immobilized on surface have gained considerable attention, mostly due to their broad scope of applications in biomedical fields. To optimize their properties, the combined knowledge of polymer chemistry and biochemistry has to be applied.
Method: The main methods to obtain such surfaces involve “grafting to” or “grafting from” of polymeric linkers with subsequent attachment of a peptide/protein. Alternatively, a “ready-made” conjugate may be grafted to the surface. Result: The structure of the polymer linker significantly influences the properties of the active surface, and a variety of physicochemical methods and tools have been successfully applied to study the structure-property relationship of these surfaces. Conclusion: This review outlines the applied synthetic strategies leading to covalently attached bioconjugates on the surface and the characterization techniques used to study those materials. The relevance of different linear polymeric linkers and their influence on the properties of the obtained materials is discussed.Current Organic Chemistry

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
