Foldamer–protein pair unlocks precise building blocks for artificial molecular materials
Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to use these properties to make artificial materials.

Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to use these properties to make artificial materials. However, arranging proteins and synthetic molecules together with a high level of structural precision is no easy task. This is partly because of the lack of large, clearly defined contact surfaces between the two components.
