In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

In recent years, our understanding of protein structure and function has advanced rapidly,
providing a mechanistic understanding of a wide variety of biological processes. As an …

Certain proteins contain subunits that enable their active translocation across the plasma
membrane into cells. In the specific case of HIV-1, this subunit is the basic domain Tat49–57 …

Bioinspired polymeric materials are attracting increasing attention due to significant
advantages over their natural counterparts: the ability to precisely tune their structures over a …

In most general terms, polymers and their supramolecular assemblies have been defining
life on this planet since its conception. Polymers of nucleic acids carry the code of life and …
