Biocompatible post-polymerization functionalization of a water soluble poly(p-phenylene ethynylene).
A biocompatible post-polymerization functionalization reaction takes advantage of a polymer's structural motif for the controllable attachment of biotin as a model biosensor that responds to streptavidin.
