Abstract
⺠We chemospecifically functionalized alginate with thiol-ended peptides. ⺠Thiol-reactive alginate intermediate with pyridyldithio-groups is first obtained. ⺠The degree of pyridyldithio-functionalization can be modified. ⺠Alginate-peptide conjugates are formed through thiol disulfide exchange. ⺠This strategy generates alginate-peptide hydrogels for tissue engineering.
