Abstract

Abstract: The dityrosine crosslink plays a vital role in improving mechanical property and stability of polymers, which has been found in most insects. It has also been exploited in new synthetic materials. Therein, the photochemical method provides a path for the formation of dityrosine bonding and shows its unique superiority. Here, we review different photo-innitiation approaches that generate the dityrosine link. This review may offer new strategies for photo-activated tyrosine unit manipulation.
