From sequence to structure: A fast track for RNA modeling

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

Using biomimetic polymers to understand and control sequence/structure/function relationships and achieve rational design of biomineralization

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.
