Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in
Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into …

Ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactams is a highly efficient and versatile method to
synthesize polyamides. Within the last ten years, significant advances in polymerization …

Cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) are among the most well-studied monomers for radical ring-
opening polymerization (rROP). However, ring-retaining side reactions and low reactivities …

This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of …

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 …

Amphiphilic nylon-3 polymers have been reported to mimic the biological activities of natural
antimicrobial peptides, with high potency against bacteria and minimal toxicity toward …

Abstract β-Glucans are of significant interest due to their potent antitumor and
immunomodulatory activities. Nevertheless, the difficulty in purification, structural …

α, ω-Unsaturated glycolipids derived from natural monosaccharides D-xylose and D-
mannose, and from a castor oil derivative, 10-undecenoic acid, were synthesised and …

The problems of microbial infections and the emergence of drug-resistant microbes are
increasingly serious, causing countless loss of lives and economic loss. The discovery and …

Thionocarbonate (–O–CS–O–) and xanthate (–S–CS–O–) cyclic monomers were
synthesised by cyclothiocarbonation of 2-deoxy-D-ribose-and D-xylose-derived diols with …
