The invention relates to fusion polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules encoding said fusion polypeptides and genetically modified cells including said nucleic acid molecules. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for preparing target polypeptides using the fusion polypeptides.

Biological synthesis of amino acid chains for preparation of peptides and proteins

A system for precision polymerization is disclosed comprising at least one Michael-type monomer and a metal compound MRRRas sole catalyst and initiator, wherein M is aluminum, gallium or indium, each of R, R, and Rindependently is CI, F, I, Br, linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, heterocycloalkyl, linear, branched or cyclic alkenyl, heterocycloalkenyl, linear, branched, or cyclic alkenyl, linear, branched, or cyclic alkinyl, heterocycloalkinyl, linear, branched, or cyclic alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, aryloxy, silyl, metallocenyl, nitro, nitroso, hydroxy, or carboxyl, wherein each alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl or alkoxy group independently has up to 12 carbon atoms, wherein each aryl or heteroaryl independently has 5 to 14 ring atoms, wherein any hetero group has at least one hetero atom selected from the group consisting of O, S, and N, wherein each alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl or alkoxy, heterocycloalkyl, heterocycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkinyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aryloxy group can be substituted by 1 up to the highest possible number of halogen atoms, or at least one electron-donating or electron-withdrawing group; with the proviso that not all three groups R, R, and Rare halogen, hydroxy, or alkoxy or wherein two of R, R, and Rtogether with M form a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic or heterocyclic group having 3 to 6 atoms, wherein a heterocyclic group has at least one hetero atom selected from the group consisting of O, S, and N; as well as processes for preparing polymers and the polymers obtained therewith.
