l-Arginine grafted alginate hydrogel beads: A novel pH-sensitive system for specific protein delivery

Novel pH-sensitive hydrogels based on l-arginine grafted alginate (Arg-g-Alg) hydrogel beads were synthesized and utilized as a new carrier for protein delivery (BSA) in specific pH media. l-arginine was grafted onto the polysaccharide backbone of virgin alginate via amine functions. Evidences of gr...
