Abstract
Compositions and methods for stabilizing biomolecules are disclosed. Specifically, the compositions include novel homopolymers or copolymers containing trehalose side chains conjugated to biomolecules. When such homopolymers or copolymers are placed in close proximity to biomolecules, such as proteins, the homopolymers or copolymers protect and/or stabilize the biomolecule. The compositions and methods may be suitable for use in various industries such as healthcare (pharmaceuticals), molecular biology, biofuels, paper, personal care, detergent, photographic, rubber, brewing, dairy and food processing industries.
