	abstract = {<p>The novel synthesis of O-glycosylated lysine-NCA from a stable glycosyl donor and a commercially available protected amino acid in very high yield is reported. These O-glycosylated lysine-NCA monomers underwent ring opening polymerization using simple primary amine initiators to form well defined, high molecular weight homoglycopolypeptides and diblock co-glycopolypeptides. The synthesis of azide labelled end functionalized glycopolypeptides and amphiphilic diblock copolypeptides is also reported. This methodology represents an easy and practical route to the synthesis of O-glycosylated polypeptides with 100\% glycosylation.</p>},

SF GP conjugates having a very high content of GP formed completely water soluble brush like polymer that displayed very high affinity toward the lectin concanavalin-A (Con-A) Films cast from SF-GP conjugates using lower amounts of grafted GP were more stable in water, and the stability can be modulated by varying the amount of G grafted. The water insoluble film SF-GP(25) was also found to bind to fluorescently labeled Con A, as was seen by confocal microscopy Such SF-GP hybrid films may be useful as mimics of extracellular matrices for tissue engineering:</p>},
