Take-home lessons

Aromatic oligoamides fold into very stable yet dynamic structures

Large sizes are well within reach of stepwise synthesis(up to ca 20 kDa so far)

Artificial backbones give access to patterns beyond the reach ofnatural polymers

Rational codes link primary sequence, 3D structure, and function

Selective recognition may occur between artificial backbonesand biopolymers

Some chemical reactions are enhanced by folding
