Functional Biomimetic Polymers with Antimicrobial Activity

Abstract

At PNNL, we have developed a completely new class of synthetic biomimetic sequence-defined polymers based on triazine chemistry, which we call TZPs. PNNL's new polymers offer the opportunity to achieve similar functions to natural macromolecules; specifically we designed and synthesized a diversity of test molecules for antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity against a variety of wild type and drug resistant pathogens was found.
