Polymer-protein hybrids have been extensively used in biomedical fields. Polymers with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviors can form a hydrated coacervate phase below the cloud point (T-cp), providing themselves the opportunity to directly capture hydrophilic proteins and form hybrids in aqueous solutions. However, it is always a challenge to obtain a UCST polymer that could aggregate at a high temperature at a relatively low concentration and also efficiently bind with proteins. In this work, a UCST polymer reactive with proteins was designed, and its temperature responsiveness and protein-capture ability were investigated in detail. The polymer was synthesized by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS). Interestingly, taking advantage of the partial hydrolysis of NAS into acrylic acid (AAc), the obtained P(AAm-co-NAS-co-AAc) polymer exhibited an excellent UCST behavior and possessed good protein-capture ability. It showed a relatively higher T-cp (81 degrees C) at a lower concentration (0.1 wt %) and quickly formed polymer-protein hybrids with high protein loading and without losing protein bioactivity, and both the polymer and polymer-protein nanoparticles showed good cytocompatibility. All the findings are attributed to the unique structure of the polymer, which provided not only the strong and stable hydrogen bonds but also the quick and mild reactivity. The work offers an easy and mild strategy for polymer-protein hybridization directly in aqueous solutions, which may find applications in biomedical fields.
