In fact, the 3D structure of this globular protein is precisely encoded by the sequence of the monomer units in the polymer chain — the so-called primary structure of this macromolecule.

The resulting macroanion efficiently initiated the living polymerization of methacrylate monomers at –78 °C, yielding di- or triblock copolymers with high blocking efficiency. Anionic copolymerization ...
