Abstract
In some embodiments, macromolecules and related methods are provided. In some embodiments, an iterative growth process may be used to form a macromolecule comprising one or more repeat units comprising a functionalizable pendant group, with precise control over mass, length, backbone sequence, pendant group sequence, and/or stereochemistry, amongst other features. Macromolecules (e.g., non-natural macromolecules) form from the iterative growth process, described herein, may be used for a wide variety of applications, including the delivery of active agents.
