Quantification of fractional and absolute functionalization of gelatin hydrogels by optimized ninhydrin assay and 1H NMR

3D cell culture in protein-based hydrogels often begins with chemical functionalization of proteins with cross-linking agents such as methacryloyl or norbornene. An important and variable characteristic of these materials is the degree of functionalization (DoF), which controls the reactivity of the...
