Motivations
• Cold–denaturation of proteins
• Drug delivery applications
![Page 10: Continued development of Probabilistic Molecular Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814558550346895db22a31/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Smart Hydrogels
• Hydrogels are made by cross-linking a water soluble polymer.• Expansion-contraction transition temperature is the approximately the same as the transition temperature of the uncross-linked polymer.• Hydrogels can be made to be target specific.

The Dream
Imagine delivering a drug imbibed in a gel via the blood stream to a diseased body part or organ. On arrival the gel
interacts with the diseased cells releasing the drug with the gel safely
dissolving.
