    Abstract

    A PH-responsive synthetic biohybrid biohybrid module poly (L-alanine acrylamide)-blockpoly(methylmethacrylate (PAAla-b-PMMA) diblock biohybrids, based on hydrophilic PAAla and hydrophobic PMAA segments, is developed via direct switching from Zinc (Zn) catalyst polymerization. EbiB was used as an initiator to Zn-mediate Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) of alanine-derived monomer, Alanine acrylamide (AAla), yielding a series of (PAAla-b-PMAA)-The copolymer’s stimuli response has been assessed against pH. The aim of this investigation was to translate this structure into a synthetic polymer. The block-copolymer is capable of removal of toxic dye from wastewater. The produced polymer has remarkable adsorption capabilities towards a range of synthetic dyes, providing viable options for wastewater treatment that is sustainable. By using this creative approach, this research offer a practical and environmentally friendly way to deal with one of the most enduring environmental problems: dye contamination-induced water pollution. The study also looks at how this RDRP approach may be scaled up for industrial applications, guaranteeing a major decrease in environmental toxicity and encouraging the creation of
    environmentally friendly wastewater management solutions. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of dye removal but also contributes to the development of eco-friendly and recyclable materials for wastewater purification for green environment.
