10 In biopolymers, amines are the key synthetic handle to build structure and architecture to a polymer. Amine groups can act as base catalysts, can be quaternized to yield aqueous soluble polymers and can function as ligands to a variety of metals. Amines are good nucleophiles and can be converted to a wide set of functional groups. Amines can form salts with carboxylic and phosphoric acids to form biologically interesting complexes and SitesPolymerizable SynthonAdd l.
