     recombinant elastin-like protein (elp) polymers display several favorable characteristics for tissue repair and replacement as well as drug delivery applications. however, these materials are derived from peptide sequences that do not lend themselves to cell adhesion, migration, or proliferation. this report describes the chemoselective ligation of peptide linkers bearing the bioactive rgd sequence to the surface of elp hydrogels. initially, cystamine is conjugated to elp, followed by the temperature-driven formation of elastomeric elp hydrogels. cystamine reduction produces reactive thiols that are coupled to the rgd peptide linker via a terminal maleimide group. investigations into the behavior of endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells on the rgd-modified elp hydrogel surface reveal significantly enhanced attachment, spreading, migration and proliferation. attached endothelial cells display a quiescent phenotype.
