Polypeptides have the same or similar backbone structures as proteins and peptides,
rendering them as suitable and important biomaterials. Amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides …

Polypeptides have attracted considerable attention in recent decades due to their inherent
biodegradability and tunable cytocompatibility. Macromolecular design in conjunction with …

A great hurdle in the production of synthetic polypeptides lies in the access of N-
carboxyanhydrides (NCA) monomers, which requires dry solvents, Schlenk line/gloveboxe …

Although the first polysarcosine (pSar) synthesis by Wesseley et al. was reported almost a
century ago, it was only recently that pSar gained broader attention and is considered a …

Synthetic polypeptides, the analogues of natural proteins, are important biomaterials that
have found broad biomedical applications. Ring-opening polymerization of N …

Biocompatible and proteolysis‐resistant poly‐β‐peptides have broad applications and are
dominantly synthesized via the harsh and water‐sensitive ring‐opening polymerization of β …

Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human health, and this 'invisible pandemic'is a
looming public health crisis. Accordingly, both broad-spectrum and selective antimicrobial …

Polysarcosine (PSar), a water-soluble polypeptoid, is gifted with biodegradability via the
