Multifunctional nanocarriers for amino functional targets with a high density of accessible binding sites are obtained in a single polymerization step by grafting from copolymerization of an active ester monomer from superparamagnetic cores. As a result of the brush-like Structure of the highly dispersed shell, the nano-objects exhibit an available capture capacity for amines that is found to be LIP to 2 orders of magnitude higher than for commercial magnetic beads, and the functional brush shell can serve as a template for many types of pendant functional groups and molecules. As comonomer, oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate allows for excellent water solubility at room temperature, biocompatibility, and thermoflocculation. We demonstrate the biorelated applicability of the hybrid nanoparticles by two different approaches. In the first approach, the immobilization of trypsin to the core-shell nanoparticles results in highly active, nanoparticulate biocatalysts, that can easily be separated magnetically. Second, we demonstrate that the obtained nanoparticles are suitable for the effective labeling of cell membranes, opening a novel pathway for the easy and effective isolation of membrane protein.
