“Biological polymers have many special properties, such as the ability to catalyze chemical reactions, to fold into specific shapes, and to have specific dynamic properties because of their precise ...

The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of a broad range of strategies used to pattern polymers. Intense interest in polymer patterning originated from the diversity of existing synthetic ...

Table 1 Comparison between typical small molecule drugs and biologics. Given the immense number of drugs on the market, for each parameter, values are highly variable and indicated herein for an ...

A recent Science paper discusses the utilization of a previously reported synthetic Escherichia coli to produce virus-resistant synthetic polymers for future drug production applications. By ...

Plastics and other polymers are used every day. These polymers are mostly made from fossil resources by refining petrochemicals. On the other hand, many microorganisms naturally synthesize polyesters ...
