title: Polymeric model systems for flavoenzyme activity: towards synthetic flavoenzymes.
abstract: We report the synthesis of a water-soluble flavin polymer using ATRP, whereby the oligoethylene glycol backbone provides both a local hydrophobic environment and redox tuning of the flavin moiety typical of flavoenzyme prototypes.
