dc.description.abstractHybrid hydrogels from protein–polymer conjugates are biomaterials formed via the chemical bonding of a protein molecule with a polymer molecule. Protein–polymer conjugates offer a variety of biological properties by combining the mechanical strength of polymers and the bioactive functionality of proteins. These properties allow these conjugates to be used as biocompatible components in biomedical applications. Protein–polymer conjugation is a vital bioengineering strategy in many fields, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and cancer therapy. Protein–polymer conjugations aim to create materials with new and unique properties by combining the properties of different molecular components. There are various ways of creating protein–polymer conjugates. PEGylation is one of the most common conjugation techniques where a protein is conjugated with Polyethylene Glycol. However, some limitations of PEGylation (like polydispersity and low biodegradability) have prompted researchers to devise novel synthesis techniques like PEGylation, where synthetic polypeptides are used as the polymer component. This review will illustrate the properties of protein–polymer conjugates, their synthesis methods, and their various biomedical applications. © 2025 by the authors.en_US
