[Biodegradable co-polymers of amino acids and synthetic polymers].

The methods of synthesis and properties of copolymers of natural amino acids and of oligopeptides with synthetic polymers are considered as well as their liability to biodestruction processes both under the effect of proteolytic enzymes in vitro and under conditions of the implantation to animals. Such copolymers may be successfully used in biology and medicine as a material for manufacturing temporal endoprostheses, carriers of medicinal preparations, immobilization of biologically active compounds as well as in studies of the mechanism of their action.
