End-functionalization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)via genetic engineering for solid surface modification

Hyun-jong Paik, Young-Rok Kim, Reid N. Orth, Christopher K. Ober, Geoffrey W. Coates and Carl A. Batt

A new approach to end-functionalization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)[PHB] is described. Using genetically engineered PHB synthase fused with a 10x-histidine units at its N-terminus, end-functionalized PHB was synthesized and used for the solid surface modification.
