Creating bioconjugates by combining polymers with peptides and proteins is an emerging multidisciplinary field of research that has enjoyed increased attention within the scientific community. This critical review provides an overview of the strategies employed for the construction of these materials and will highlight the underlying synthetic methods used. This review is therefore relevant for chemists, material scientists and chemical biologists facing the challenge of constructing polypeptide-polymer bioconjugates in a controlled fashion (269 references).

Design of reversible organelle-like microcompartments formed by liquid-liquid phase separation in cell-mimicking entities has significantly advanced the bottom-up construction of artificial eukaryotic cells. However, organizing the formation of artificial organelle architectures in a spatiotemporal manner within complex primitive compartments remains scarcely explored. In this work, thermoresponsive hybrid polypeptide-polymer conjugates are rationally engineered and synthesized, resulting from the conjugation of an intrinsically disordered synthetic protein (IDP), namely elastin-like polypeptide, and synthetic polymers (poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran) that are widely used as macromolecular crowding agents.

The design of drug delivery systems capable of efficiently delivering poorly soluble drugs to target sites still remains a major challenge. Such materials require several different functionalities; typically, these materials should be biodegradable and nontoxic, nonimmunogenic, responsive to their environment, and soluble in aqueous solution while retaining the ability to solubilize hydrophobic drugs. Here, a polypeptide-polymer hybrid of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and poly(2-oxazoline)s (POx) is reported.
