Hydrodynamic metamaterials: microfabricated arrays to steer, refract, and focus streams of biomaterials.

abstract：:This paper reports a general in situ method to grow a polymer conjugate solely from the C terminus of a recombinant protein. GFP was fused at its C terminus with an intein; cleavage of the intein provided a unique thioester moiety at the C terminus of GFP that was used to install an atom transfer radical polymerizatio...
