Abstract
We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials (nanogel engineering) by self-assembling of functional associating polymers as building blocks. Self-assembled nanogels containing polymerizable groups (CHPMA) were designed as key building blocks. Hybrid hydrogels were prepared by copolymerization of the CHPMA with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) in semi-dilute aqueous condition. The hydrogels trapped proteins in denatured form and rapidly released by adding ß-CD solution. The released proteins were refolded as native form. The hydrogels worked well as an artificial molecular chaperone system for protein refolding.
