Recently, this has become especially true for the modification of polypeptides (monomers or polymers), which has resulted in a plethora of novel polymers and materials. With this in mind, this highlight focuses on the recent literature concerning the modification of polypeptides by the use of thiol-X chemistry, in particular to synthetic polypeptides either at the monomer or polymer stage modified by thiol-ene, -Michael addition, and -yne chemistries.
