In fact, the 3D structure of this globular protein is precisely encoded by the sequence of the monomer units in the polymer chain — the so-called primary structure of this macromolecule.
This method involved the preparation of DPE end-functionalized PIB, which was quantitatively metalated with n-butyllithium. The resulting macroanion efficiently initiated the living polymerization of ...
Macromolecules ... can be used as a monomer for polycondensation, yielding a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure. For the polycondensation, unique reactivities ...
