Abstract

A novel addition-fragmentation-chain transfer capable allyl sulfide functionalized PEG hydrogel is reported to allow controlled, reversible exchange of biochemical ligands. The exchange of biochemical ligands is achieved without permanent consumption of reactive functionalities. Demonstrated is the ability to exchange biochemical ligands multiple times using cytocompatible 720 nm two-photon light.
