Extended linear structures self-assemble by the multi-stage-open-association mechanism of supramolecular polymerization (MSOA). Application of the model requires the identification of a repeating unit ...

Previous work showed that the side chain of Q137 is closer to the nucleotide in filaments of ADP-actin than in monomers (6 – 9), but the mechanism of hydrolysis was uncertain without structures of ATP ...

Controlled chain growth polymerization techniques have brought this goal closer, allowing the preparation of multiblock copolymers with ordered sequences of functional monomers.
