PLys

Poly(L-lysine) (PLys) is a functional polymer with a defined degree of polymerization. It incorporates lysine residues with primary-amine side chains. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. Repeat-unit composition and side-chain structure provide material-design variables distinct from linear PEG, enabling comparisons with homologous materials of different chain lengths or backbones. It supports functionalization and material-structure studies organized around segment length, actually available attachment sites, and interfacial presentation.
