Patent 7183059 was granted and assigned to President and Fellows of Harvard College on February, 2007 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method of generating a compound having at least one biological activity of a peptide. The method includes identifying a biologically active peptide, providing a first monomer which contains terminal reactive moieties and at least one functionalizable group, providing a second monomer which contains terminal reactive moieties and at least one functionalizable group, and reacting first and second monomer under stereo-and/or regiochemically controlled conditions to yield a compound in which the monomers are attached by way of terminal reactive moieties.
