title: Synthesis and functionalization of a highly fluorescent and completely water-soluble poly(para-phenyleneethynylene) copolymer for bioconjugation.
abstract: Bioconjugation of a highly fluorescent water-soluble poly(para-phenyleneethynylene) (PPE) copolymer with ionic and non-ionic side chains is achieved by means of chain-end modification, providing a design principle for biosensor development.
