There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

ROMPing with ADAMs and cyclobutenes: From fertilization to antibacterials
Regio-and stereochemical control of polymer synthesis is an important focus of chemical biology and materials research. During the course of mechanistic investigation with polymers that display the essential binding motif of fertilinβ in multivalent fashion to probe sperm-egg interactions in fertilization, we sought polymers with more precise regio-and stereochemical control for distance measurements and optimal presentation of functionality. New cyclobutene monomers for polymerization have been developed to circumvent these problems. Their synthesis and applications as microbicides will be discussed.
