Herein visible light is used to induce RAFT
polymerization from protein for preparing protein-polymer conjugates at ambient
temperature. Polymerization is fast and can be conveniently controlled with
irradiation time. By site-specific polymerization of NIPAm to protein, the
protein activity is maintained and in certain cases it presents an efficient
on-off-switchable property.
