Bovine serum albumin bioconjugates

Finally, a model protein bioconjugate 52 was prepared with the reactive fluorophore 50 and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The conjugate was identified spectrophotometrically and its steady state fluorescence emission spectra... 

The use of this strategy has rarely been encountered as a conjugation technique in macromolecular chemistry. Nevertheless, in a very nice example Maynard and colleagues prepared a variety of aminooxy functional polymers via ATRP and conjugated them to N-leuvinyl lysine modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Heredia et al., 2007). The reaction was completed in only 30 min, producing the well-defined bioconjugate (Scheme 2.7).
