Patent ID: 7858581

Claim:
A method for delivering a functional peptide to a PMMA (“polymethyl methacrylate”) surface comprising, a) providing a peptide reagent having a general structure selected from the group consisting of: PMMA m -(PmBP) n ; A) PMMA m -(PmBP-BAp) n ; B) PMMA m -(PmBP-AD) n ; C) PMMA m -(PmBP-TBD) n ; D) PMMA m -(PmBP-L-BA) n ; and E) PMMA m -[(PmBP) q -(L) x -(PmBP) r ] n -L-BA; F) wherein: i) PMMA is a polymethylmethacrylate moiety ii) PmBP is a PMMA binding peptide having a PMMA binding domain; iii) BA is at least one benefit agent; iv) AD is at least one active domain incorporated into a PMMA binding peptide; v) TBD is at least one target binding domain incorporated into a PMMA binding peptide; vi) L is a linker molecule; vii) m=the number of PMMA moieties available for binding; viii) n=is less than m; xi) p=1-20; x) x=1-20; and xi) r=1-50; b) providing a PMMA m surface; and c) contacting the peptide reagent of (a) with the PMMA m surface of (b) under conditions whereby PmBP binds to the PMMA m surface.
