Synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides based on poly(diitaconamide): synthesis, bioactivity and stability.
A new class of poly(diitaconamide)-based SMAMPs featuring facially amphiphilic repeat units featuring facially amphiphilic repeat units is presented, indicating that the facial amphiphilicity design concept was successfully translated to this polymer type and highlight the critical role of balanced amphiphilicity on th...
