“…13 The use of chemoselective reactions to selectively modify specific residues in ELPs post-synthesis has been shown to be a promising means to introduce new functionalities and impart new properties to ELPs, especially at their chain ends, 14,15,16,17 and more scarcely at ELP side-chain residues. 18,19 In a previous study, we reported the chemoselective alkylation of all methionine (Met) residues in the ELP sequence (VPGMG) 20 , which contains Met residues in every repeat, and used this modification to tune the LCST of the resulting polysulfonium ELP derivatives. 20 However, a limitation of this system was the need to use hydrophobic alkylating reagents, i.e.…”
