Helices are the most prevalent secondary structure in biomolecules and play vital roles in
their activity. Chemists have been fascinated with mimicking this molecular conformation …

The helix is the central structural motif in biological macromolecules, such as DNA and
proteins, and is also the ubiquitous object in nature from microscopic to macroscopic points …

Biological macromolecules, such as DNA and proteins, possess a unique and specific
ordered structure, such as a right-handed double helix or a single α-helix. Those structures …

During the last decade, remarkable progress in developing synthetic helical polymers with a
controlled helical sense has been achieved. However, the exact helical structures of most of …

Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the
helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share …

Double helical conformation of polymer chains is widely observed in biomacromolecules
and plays an essential role in exerting their biological functions, such as molecular …

The studies on synthetic helical polymers1-6 were initiated by the discovery of helical
structures in naturally occurring macromolecules. Natural macromolecules form three …

In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

In this Account, we describe the recent progress in the synthesis and unique features and
functions of helical polymers with a controlled handedness based on the noncovalent …

The high functionalities of naturally occurring macromolecules such as proteins and genes
arise from their precisely ordered stereostructures. 1 In such systems, the helix is often found …
