Sw. Shalaby et Wsw. Shalaby, STRUCTURE MODULATION OF MACROMOLECULES FOR BIOMEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS, Indian Journal of Technology, 31(4-6), 1993, pp. 464-467
New polymers and modified natural polymers have emerged to meet the ev
er growing needs of macromolecules in biomedical and pharmaceutical ap
plications. This paper describes approaches that have been recently em
ployed towards modification of biologically active proteins, use of co
polymerization as a technique to modulate the biological performance o
f absorbable polymers and new synthetic methods for polymeric drugs.
