Abstract

We successfully found that boroxazolidone can dissociate under aqueous conditions, which were applicable to a solution containing proteins. The immobilization of a newly synthesized diarylborinic acid on beads enabled the capture and release of target proteins of bioactive compounds through boroxazolidone formation and dissociation.
