and enzymaticdegradation by papain were dependent on the molecular weight of the PEG, but not the peptide. For PEG8800‐based hydrogels, time‐course analysis of degradation showed that the molecular weight of the soluble fraction quickly reached the PEG precursor value. These findings may guide future design of hydrogels with controllable mechanical properties and enzymaticdegradability.
