ABSTRACT
The enhanced popularity of the macromolecular class of functional polymers has been recognized recently in specific areas of academia and industrialization because of their unique features and applications. This class of materials is designed with a range of desirable properties on their surfaces. The present and future of polymer chemistry have a massive application in developing functional proteins. The attachment of proteins to polymers has advantages in bio-applications. This chapter focuses on the development in this field so far along with the current perspective in terms of formation of protein‒polymer complexes, synthetic peptide‒polymer conjugates, site-specific modifications of peptides or proteins, their supramolecular architectures, biomedical applications such as drug delivery of therapeutic proteins, development of protein microarrays, industrial applications such as catalysts, other applications, and future perspective of polymer‒protein conjugates.
