ABSTRACT:
The invention provides for a polypeptide, which is useful as a biomaterial and free from infection. The polypeptide comprises a peptide unit of formula (1), and optionally one or more units of formulae (2) to (3): (1) [—(OC—(CH2)m—CO)p-(Pro-Y-Gly)n-]a; (2) [—(OC—(CH2)m—CO)q-(Z)r-]b; and (3) [—HN—R—NH—]c, wherein “m” is 1-18 , “p” and “q” are identical or different, and each is 0 or 1 , “Y” is Pro or Hyp, and “n”1-20 ; “Z” is a peptide chain comprising 1-10 amino acids, “r”1-20 , and “R” is a linear or branched alkylene group; the molar ratio of “a” to “b”[a/b] is 100/0 to 30/70 ; when p=1 and q=0, c=a, when p=0 and q=1, c=b, when p=1 and q=1, c=a+b, and when p=0 and q=0, c=0; and the polypeptide shows a peak of molecular weight in a range from 1×104to 100×104in the molecular weight distribution.
