Nature CommunicationsAbstract
The recent advances in accelerated polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) enrich the toolbox to prepare well-defined polypeptide materials. Here the authors use crown ethers to catalyze the polymerization of NCA initiated by conventional primary amine initiators in solvents with low polarity and low hydrogen-bonding ability
