Poly(ortho ester amides): acid-labile temperature-responsive copolymers for potential biomedical applications.

abstract：:Disulfide bonds stabilize the tertiary- and quaternary structure of proteins. In addition, they can be used to engineer redox-sensitive (bio)materials and drug-delivery systems. Many of these applications require control of the stability of the disulfide bond. It has recently been shown that the charged microenvironme...
