Enzymatic synthesis and antioxidant property of poly(allylamine)-catechin conjugate
A polymeric conjugate containing a catechin group has been synthesized by laccase-catalyzed oxidation of catechin in the presence of poly(allylamine). The resulting conjugate showed a good antioxidant property against LDL peroxidation induced by a free radical.
