Polymer-Scaffolded Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries (PS-DCLs) have been prepared in aqueous solution bythe reversible conjugation of two different acylhydrazide residues onto aldehyde-functionalizeddimethylacrylamide-based polymer scaffolds. PS-DCLs have been shown by 1H NMR spectroscopicanalysis to adapt their composition in response to addition of three macromolecular template species,namely poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate), bovine serum albumin and bovine trypsin. Compositionalchanges within PS-DCLs in response to template addition may be rationalized in terms of multivalentinteractions between members of the PS-DCL and templates. A systematic evaluation of how propertiesof the polymer scaffold, including molecular weight and density of aldehyde functionalities, affect thebehaviour of resultant PS-DCLs is detailed. Increasing the molecular weight of the polymer scaffold hasbeen shown to induce a linear decrease in the amplification of the preferred residue upon templateaddition. A linear relationship between the molar weight percentage of the aldehyde functionalizedmonomer and the extent of amplification of the preferred residue upon template addition has alsobeen demonstrated.
