title: [Molecular design of polymeric materials for biotechnology and medicine].
abstract: This review describes new polymer materials for biomedical applications developed in the Polymers for Biology Laboratory of the Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences. These include composite rigid sorbents for biochromatography, polymer dispersions for immunoassay, polymer hydrogels for immobilization of enzymes and cells, and polymer ultra thin films as biomembrane models and materials for biosensors. Some general and specific properties of these new materials and models as well as examples of their applications are discussed.
