The aim of this proposal is to utilize the capabilities of EMSL to investigate the self-assembly of sequence-defined macromolecules, such as proteins and peptoids, into hierarchical materials and…

Programmable Synthesis of Structurally Diverse and Functional Biomimetic Materials from Sequence-defined Polymers

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Chunlong Chen

Programmable synthesis of functional nanomaterials with diverse morphologies and functionalities is challenging in terms of both the limited chemical systems accessible and a lack of understanding of…

Self-assembling highly stable biomimetic membranes from highly stable protein-like molecules

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Chunlong Chen

The overall purpose of this research is to develop highly-stable sequence-specific molecules (called peptoids) to mimic proteins and peptides for functions. These peptoids will mimic the ability of…
