C-GEM has been renewed to continue solving chemistry’s “Holy Grail” problem of how to synthesize truly sequence-defined chemical polymers, oligomeric molecules possessing both a pre-determined, diverse sequence, and a defined length. In the last five years, C-GEM scientists have site-selectively generated C-C bonds in ribosomally synthesized peptides, developed an RNA language model to predict RNA structure and function, and produced genetically encoded macrocyclic peptides with pharmaceutically relevant structures embedded in the backbone.
