Effects of amino acid substitution on chain packing in genetically engineered periodic polypeptides

Architecturally well-defined polymeric materials with precisely controlled chain length, sequence, stereochemistry and interchain interactions can be produced using the fidelity of biological protein synthesis. A set of periodic protein polymers of repeating unit sequence (AlaGly)$\sb3$-X-Gly, where...
