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 …

Although the first polysarcosine (pSar) synthesis by Wesseley et al. was reported almost a
century ago, it was only recently that pSar gained broader attention and is considered a …

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

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and their mimics are emerging as promising antibiotic agents.
We present a library of “ampetoids”(antimicrobial peptoid oligomers) with helical structures …

This review describes different synthetic strategies towards sequence‐defined,
monodisperse macromolecules, which are built up by iterative approaches and lead to …

Polymer sequence programmability is required for the diverse structures and complex
properties that are achieved by native biological polymers, but efforts towards controlling the …

Peptoid oligomers were initially developed as part of a larger basic research effort to
accelerate the drug‐discovery process in the biotech/biopharma industry. Their ease of …

Peptoids (N-substituted polyglycines and extended peptoids with variant backbone amino-
acid monomer units) are oligomeric synthetic polymers that are becoming a valuable …

Absolute control over polymer stereo‐and sequence structure is highly challenging in
polymer chemistry. Here, an acid‐orthogonal deprotection strategy is proposed for the …

One of the long-term goals in developing advanced biomaterials is to generate protein-like
nanostructures and functions from a completely nonnatural polymer. Toward that end, we …
