Investigation into the incorporation of RGD into polymers as a non-integrin selective strategy for tissue engineering

This thesis describes the development of the 4-bromobenzylsulphonyl (4- Bbs) group as an enzymatically cleavable protecting group for the side chain of arginine. The protected arginine was utilised to synthesise RGD peptidcs both with and without a spacer arm and these peptides were incorporated int...
