Yttrium-based catalysts can be used to stitch together two different lactone monomers in an alternating fashion to produce polyesters with well-defined primary structures. The ability to control the ...

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.

Biopolymers, such as proteins and nucleic acids, are defined by their highly specialized functions that arise from their perfectly controlled primary structures, that is, sequence regulation of repeat ...
