Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone and muscle and ...

It's a good example to show one way that polymers form. Here's a simple example of the chemistry responsible for Nylon, and parenthetically, all of life, since these same chemical reactions – the ...
Scientists developing new biomaterials often try to mimic the body's natural proteins, but a chemist shows that simpler polymers -- based on a handful of plastic building blocks -- also work well.
