This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18720968 titled 'EVOLVING RANDOM HETEROPOLYMERS TOWARDS CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE MATERIALS



Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to using monomer-based heteropolymers to create random heteropolymers that act as biomimetic catalysts that can be evolved to mimic activities of different classes of natural enzymes. The random heteropolymers comprise a mixture of heteropolymer sequences wherein a portion of the heteropolymers comprise a catalytically active region similar to that of a naturally occurring enzyme active site.
