N-Carboxyanhydride-Derived Polypeptides as Programmable Platforms for Hierarchical Chiral Assembly and Chiroptical Materials
N-carboxyanhydride (NCA)-derived polypeptides are programmable platforms for hierarchical chiral assembly and chiroptical materials. Their controlled stereochemistry, chain length, architecture, and functionality regulate secondary structures such as α-helices and β-sheets, which further guide assembly into nanostructu...
