The synthesis and radical polymerization behavior of a novel methacrylate having a peptide moiety, N ‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐ L ‐leucyl‐ L ‐alanylglycine 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl ester ( 1 ), are described. 1 shows radical polymerizability in spite of the bulky peptide moiety. Only the ester group near the peptide moiety of poly( 1 ) could be hydrolyzed selectively and completely in the hydrolysis of poly( 1 ) in an alkaline solution.
