Chemistry

Precise control over the building blocks of a macromolecule is a crucial parameter for tuning its structure, properties and functions. In contrast to bio-macromolecules (DNA, protein), synthetic sequence-controlled macromolecules have some unique properties: access to unlimited functionalities (proteins are limited by 20 genetically coded amino acids), better environmental and biological stability, flexible chemical and physical properties via modular functional groups and economic synthetic route.
