In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of acyclic twisted amides,
covering the literature since 1993 (the year of the first recognized report on acyclic twisted …

In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

Polymers with precisely defined monomeric sequences present an exquisite tool for
controlling material properties by harnessing both the robustness of synthetic polymers and …

Bioinspired polymeric materials are attracting increasing attention due to significant
advantages over their natural counterparts: the ability to precisely tune their structures over a …

Cyclic peptides are promising scaffolds for drug development, attributable in part to their
increased conformational order compared to linear peptides. However, when optimizing the …

In most general terms, polymers and their supramolecular assemblies have been defining
life on this planet since its conception. Polymers of nucleic acids carry the code of life and …

In the last decade, the field of sequence‐defined polymers and related ultraprecise,
monodisperse synthetic macromolecules has grown exponentially. In the early stage, mainly …

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and highlight a few classes of traditional
antimicrobial peptides with a focus on structure-activity relationship studies. After first …

The amide bond is one of the most important functional groups in chemistry and biology. 1
Due to the strong resonance interaction between nN and π* C O orbitals (Figure 1), 2 the …
