Peptides are often chemically synthesized by processes such as solid-phase synthesis, 12 ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides 13 and recombinant synthesis. 14, 15 Although these methods ...

Figure 1: Intra- and intermolecular bipartite tetracysteine display using FlAsH-EDT 2 and ReAsH-EDT 2. Figure 2: Equilibrium binding of FlAsH and ReAsH to polypeptides or protein domains containing a ...

Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials.
