Our latest from Doug is out @ChemicalScience @UoMMIB . We introduce #PVAylation: site specific bioconjugation of PVA to proteins, bringing unique ice-binding capability as well as other benefits of polymer-conjugation. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

PVAylation: precision end-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) for site-selective bioconjugation†

The (bio)conjugation of polymers onto proteins enhances their pharmacokinetics and stability, most commonly using PEG (polyethylene glycol), but there is a

This has been a challenge for us, due to lability of the RAFT end-group after deprotection giving us low conversion. Using a photo-reduction, we can cap the reactive end group and install bio-conjugation functionality at the other end.

This will let us explore the benefits of PVAylation, which is not only ice-binding, water soluble, low toxicity, but is also degradable in the environment

The Peter Principle is the satirical theory that employees are generally promoted to their level of incompetence. #OnThisDay in 1974 its author, Dr Laurence J Peter, explained how he first got the idea and what could be done about it.

1974: The Peter Principle

"Should we go through our life being conditioned to keep on accepting that next reward, to keep on running like a squirrel in a cage, to keep on striving for that carrot on a stick?"
