Protein-Based Polymers.

Abstract

This contract supported synthetic and structural investigations of two classes of protein-based polymers: (1) alanylglycine-rich polymers related to the silks and capable of forming well-defined beta-sheets; and (2) alpha-helical polymers of uniform chain length capable of forming liquid crystalline phases. jg
