A truly collaborative effort with the suggestion of a new ligand coming from undergrad Jack, thorough computational efforts from Supraja and Bridgette, synthetic efforts from Will, and another fantastic story from our soon-to-be PhD @Matt_A_Sanders!
We are excited to share our new paper out in @J_A_C_S! Congrats to @Matt_A_Sanders, Supraja, Jack, Will, and Bridgette for their awesome work studying the impact of protein-mimetic functionality on polymeric catalysts.

We are looking for a postdoc to join @KnightGroupUNC ! Interested in the interface of peptide and polymer chemistry with applications in therapeutics and nanomaterials? Send questions or an application with a cover letter, CV, and statement of previous research.

This work, building on our Polym. Chem. publication (doi.org/10.1039/d4py00341a), tells the story of my first PhD student Erin's (@Dayofthecentury) PhD journey. Huge thanks to my current student Supraja for her heroic computational contributions and to our fantastic collaborators!

Why does local structure matter in “unstructured” copolymers? Here we connect sequence, structure, and function in amphiphilic copolymers, including a long awaited foray into rare earth binding (my first attempts date back to my PhD)! Congrats Peter and @KnightGroupUNC!
Hot off the press in @J_A_C_S! Congrats to Peter Dykeman-Bermingham, Matthew Bogen, Supraja Chittari, and Savannah Grizzard for their amazing work studying the impact of monomer sequence on nanoparticle assembly and function pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Thrilled to see this work come out! It showcases the interdisciplinary creativity of @Matt_A_Sanders and Supraja, and highlights the importance of the polymer matrix on it’s function.
We are thrilled to share our new paper out last week in @J_A_C_S! We describe polymer catalysts using a novel triphenylphosphine acrylamide monomer to facilitate Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings (1/4)
