| Abstract | NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Nucleic acids and proteins are both incredibly powerful in their ability to encode information and perform specific functions, yet they each benefit from unique advantages with regard to designability and breadth of function. To date, synthetic polymers seeking to mimic these natural biopolymers only take advantage of a single code – either nucleic acid or protein. The proposed work explores "bilingual biopolymers" as a novel class of biomolecules that are able to simultan |
