Monodisperse benzyl -ester derivatives of poly(α, L-glutamate) and poly(α, L-aspartate) modeling nature's delicate state of matter

Biosynthesis of monodisperse poly(α,L-aspartic acid) and optimization of poly(α,L-glutamic acid) production have been accomplished. Protein design having as ultimate goal the synthesis of monodisperse benzyl-ester derivatives of α-helical polypeptides by genetic engineering has been performed. This...
