Sequence Polymers

The chemical compositions of biological polymers such as proteins and nucleic acids are usually well-defined sequences of different monomer units. In contrast, the synthetic polymers that form our material world are generally composed of multiple repeats of the same monomer unit. In this presentation, I will discuss the possibilities for developing synthetic polymeric materials composed of defined sequences of different monomer units. These systems would combine the functional programmability of biological molecules with the chemical diversity available in synthetic systems.
