Macromolecular information transfer can be defined as the process by which a coded
monomer sequence is communicated from one macromolecule to another. In such a transfer …

Creating the next generation of advanced materials will require controlling molecular
architecture to a degree typically achieved only in biopolymers. Sequence-defined polymers …

Information can be encoded and stored in sequences of monomer units organized in linear
synthetic polymers. Replication of sequence information is of fundamental importance in …

Template-directed synthesis has become a powerful methodology to access complex
molecules. Noncovalent templating has been widely used in the last few decades, but less …

Terrestrial Life is based on polymers. In all known living organisms, DNA stores genetic
information, mutates, self-replicates, and guides the synthesis of messenger molecules …

In all known genetic polymers, molecular recognition via hydrogen bonding between
complementary subunits underpins their ability to encode and transmit information, to form …

Synthetic duplexes with high stabilities have promising potential for mimicking biomolecular
functions and developing supramolecular smart materials. Herein, we describe the synthesis …

Template-directed synthesis of nucleic acids in the polymerase chain reaction is based on
the use of a primer, which is elongated in the replication process. The attachment of a high …

Relatively robust dynamic covalent interactions have been employed extensively to mediate
molecular self-assembly reactions; however, these assembly processes often do not …

Template-directed synthesis is the biological method for the assembly of oligomers of
defined sequence, providing the molecular basis for replication and the process of evolution …
