Macromolecules comprise a growing group of new pharmaceutical products with the potential to treat diseases that heretofore have had no effective therapeutic options. To date, the therapeutic ...

Note that the brush molecules in Fig. 1b,d have the same chemical composition as their linear counterparts in Fig. 1a,c, although showing the very distinct mixing behaviour. Apparently, the hairy ...

In a discovery with wide-ranging implications, researchers recently announced that uniformly charged macromolecules -- or molecules, such as proteins or DNA, that contain a large number of atoms all ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of photosynthesis can enable significant progress in the fields of biotechnology and renewable energy. Photosystem II (PSII), a protein ...

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method for producing new macromolecules with improved properties by modifying the polymers in discarded plastics.
