| Peptide- and protein-based materials: science and engineering (BIOL, POLY, AIChE) | |||
| Peptides and proteins represent one of the three major classes of biological macromolecule. The others are polysaccharides and polynucleotides. Peptides and proteins constitute half of the dry mass of any cell. Interesting biomaterials, for example, hair, tendons, and skeletal muscle, are made mostly of these extraordinary polymers. From a chemical point of view, all the different peptides and proteins combined in all creatures past and present are but an infinitesimal fraction of all possible peptide structures. This session will explore some of the ways in which novel peptide- and protein-based materials are being developed at this time. | |||
