Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a method for selective conjugation of bioactive moieties to a polymer or polymerisable compound. The method is more specifically related to the selective conjugation of bioactive moieties to a pendant carboxylic acid, ester or thioester group in which the pendant group is part of a polymer or a polymerisable compound, wherein the method comprises contacting the polymer or polymerisable compound with a hydrolytic enzyme to catalyse the conjugation between the bioactive moiety and the pendant carboxylic acid, ester or thioester group. The conjugation of the bioactive moieties may occur prior to, during or after polymerization of the polymerisable compound. The conjugation of the bioactive moieties may also occur after the polymer is given a form. |
