Description
Control over polymer architecture is a crucial parameter to manipulate macromolecular function, both in solution and on surface. Nature exemplifies this in enzymes, which show unmatched catalytic function due to their defined three-dimensional structure. In this thesis, peptide based single chain nanoparticles carrying the DHS sequence are utilized for the catalysis of ester hydrolysis reactions where the reaction rate may be increased. The catalytic triad is further investigated and combined with a novel peptide stapling chemistry based on pyridinedithiazolines. Finally, polymer brushes are obtained and photochemically manipulated to create complex patterns on surface at the nanoscopic level.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
