Novel Polymer Could Improve Protein-Based Drugs
Date: 23.8.2009
A new method for attaching a large protective **polymer** molecule to a protein appears to improve **protein drugs** significantly.
Bioengineers at Duke University developed the new approach and demonstrated in an animal model that the newly created **protein-polymer** combinations, known as **conjugates**, remained in circulation significantly longer than an unprotected protein.
