Abstract
An aldehyde acrylate-based functional monomer was incorporated into poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) nanogels for use as protein receptors. The aldehyde component forms dynamic imines with surface exposed lysine residues, while carboxylic acid/carboxylate moieties form electrostatic interactions with high isoelectric point proteins. Together, these interactions effect protein adsorption and recognition.
