Foldable Polymers

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
We introduce a new class of foldable oligomers consisting of alternating rigid and flexible regions. The rigid segments overlap to give ?-stacked folded conformers whose formation is driven mostly by…

High Resolution NMR Investigation of the Nano-materials

Lead Institution
Brown University
Principal Investigator
Li-Qiong Wang
Project type
Capability Research
The objective of this proposal is to use the high resolution solid-state NMR to study the molecularly designed nano-materials. We will continue to use the 300 and 500 MHz solid state NMR…

Semi-Rigid Block Copolymer

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
In this project, we explore new concepts in nanoscience and nanotechnology: self-organization of semi-rigid block copolymers. Our hypothesis is that properly designed polymers can self-organize into…

Single Molecule Studies of Multi-Chromophoric Foldamers

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
Folding is a strategy ubiquitously used by nature to accomplish remarkable functions such as molecular recognition and enzymatic chemical catalysis. Since we are unable to design synthetic polymers…

Limited Scope
Folding is a strategy ubiquitously used by nature to accomplish remarkable functions such as molecular recognition and enzymatic chemical catalysis. Since we are unable to design synthetic polymers…

Single Molecule Dymanics of Protein DNA Interactions

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein interactions are ubiquitous biological systems and their interactions play critical roles in controlling functional cellular systems and abnormal cell…
