Abstract:
Described herein is a degradable linking agent that includes a core molecule with one or more charged groups; and one or more photoreactive groups covalently attached to the core molecule by one or more degradable linkers.
Abstract:
Polymeric coatings that include coupled biomolecules are formed on the surface of articles, such as medical devices. A coated layer that includes a synthetic polymer including a reactive group is formed on a surface and then a biomolecule is attached to the reactive group. The synthetic polymer can be an acrylate polymer or an amine-containing polymer having pendent photoreactive groups.
