Direct 3D Specification of Protein-Like Molecules
Design polymers that are not limited to amino acids and are directly specified in three dimensions, enabling precise positional control in synthesis and potentially broader or more robust functions than proteins.

Our current methods do not allow precise control over the positional placement of atoms or groups during chemical synthesis, limiting our ability to build molecules with atomic precision. A general-purpose approach to atomically precise fabrication was envisioned by Drexler in the 1980s and Feynman ...
