By imitating the structure of a protein, chemists have now made a strong, tough polymer that also exhibits ... Now, in Journal of the American Chemical Society, Zhibin Guan and his colleagues ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples ... in maintaining the shape of DNA molecules and proteins.

The primary structure of a protein is composed of different ... "We can think of these polymers as reversible molecular shields, which disrupt the aggregation pathway," explains Prof.

We’re familiar with the idea of prosthetic limbs, but what about prosthetic protein components ... alternatives that have the same broad structure. Professor Wilson and his team have used a foldamer – ...

We compute amino acid sequences predicted to fold into proteins with new structures and functions, produce synthetic genes encoding these sequences, and characterize them experimentally. I will ...
