Stereochemical Control Yields Mucin Mimetic Polymers
[Image: see text] All animals except sponges produce mucus. Across the animal kingdom, this hydrogel mediates surface wetting, viscosity, and protection against microbes. The primary components of mucus hydrogels are mucins—high molecular weight O-glycoproteins that adopt extended linear structures....
