This work is directed toward the design of novel polyamides based               on the incorporation of sequential residues, similar to those                   found in proteins.  One expects to find new conformations,                      related to or different from those present in standard nylons and               proteins, which will result in new properties.  For the                         characterization of these polymers, Fourier transform infrared                  spectroscopy, circular dichroism (where applicable), solution and               solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, electron microscopy, and                fiber-diffraction techniques will be emphasized.  The                           investigators will also utilize computer simulations to determine               the preferred structures of the new polymers.  These polymers                   should have potential uses as sutures, conformation, and                        properties, new classes of peptidomimetic polyamides will be                    designed.
