Abstract: The secondary structure formation of polypeptides not only governs folding and solution self-assembly but also affects the nucleophilic ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acid-N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs). Whereby helical structures are known to enhance polymerization rates, β-sheet-like assemblies… read more here.
