Jingsong developed a S-Sn Lewis pair for the ROP of NCA, which can afford ultrahigh molecular weight polypeptides with well-define end group functionality, allowing facile bioconjugation. This is his second paper in 2018. Let’s expect more coming soon.

In this paper, we investigated and optimized the linker chemistry of zwitterionic helical polypeptides for advanced nonfouling polymer brushes. Congratulations to Dr. Zhang. Please check out the paper at the link below:
April, 2018.
The Lu group attended the 2018 Taishan Academic Forum at Qingdao University of Science and Technology, a highly focused meeting on advanced and sustainable biopolymers. We enjoyed the scientific discussion, as well as the beach, and beer.
April 2018.
Jingsong’s latest work on pH and salt dual-responsive ionic helical polypeptides was accepted in the ACS journal Biomacromolecules. The paper will appear as an invited article in the Biomacromolecules Asian Special Issue. Congratulations to Jingsong and all coauthors.

January 2018.
Dr. Chong Zhang’s work was accepted in the special issue (Chemistry of Biomaterials) of the journal Biomaterials (DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.01.052). In this paper, interesting helical conformation and anchoring orientation effects were discussed, which showed significant impact to the antifouling performance of the polypeptides-coated surfaces.
