Biological
Synthesis & Assembly of Macromolecular
Materials (IRG I)
Work in the area of Biological Synthesis
and Assembly of Macromolecular Materials
(Interdisciplinary Research Group
I) explores the powerful control of
self-organization that can be achieved
in polymers of absolutely defined
comonomer sequence -- genetically
engineered artificial proteins—and
the control of spatial arrangement
and size that can be templated using
surfactant nanostructures.
