Recent advances in synthetic polypeptide and polymer chemistry have transformed the landscape of biomaterials by combining the precision of organic synthesis with the versatile functionalities of ...

A research study describes a systematic high-throughput design approach for virtual screening and creation of novel polypeptide-based molecules that form regular secondary structures that can be used ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...

Here we describe a systematic approach to search through dipeptide combinations of 130 chemically diverse amino acids to identify those predicted to populate unique low-energy states. A research study ...

Polymer engineering is undergoing a decisive shift from a discipline dominated by commodity thermoplastics and incremental processing improvements to one defined by performance-by-design, ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...
