By grafting a photoactive vinyl monomer to a synthetic ultrafiltration membrane, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., have produced a material whose protein adsorbability can be controlled with exposure to visible and ultraviolet radiation. The material, which they describe in the June 19 issue of Angewandte Chemie International Edition, may make possible the development of photoresponsive switches that control the transport of biomolecules in lab-on-a-chip systems and of micropore filters that can be cleaned in situ without the use of chemicals. The scientists...Read full article
