Correction to “Living Biomaterials” Mark W. Tibbitt and Robert Langer* Acc. Chem. Res. 2017, 50, 508−513. DOI: 10.1021/acs.accounts.6b00499 In Figure 1, the first scheme in the panel titled “Controlled polymerization” should be labeled “ring-opening polymerization” instead of “ring-opening metathesis polymerization”. The corrected Figure 1 and caption is provided here.
Figure 1. Chemical approaches for the synthesis of defined molecular precursors. A range of synthetic approaches exists for the fabrication of molecular constituents of living biomaterials. For example, controlled polymerizations, including ring-opening polymerization (ROP) as a representative anionic polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) as a representative radical polymerization, provide access to polymeric species with low polydispersity, defined architecture, and specific chemistry. Postpolymerization functionalization provides an additional strategy to append selected functionality to synthetic polymers via, for example, isocyanate or click chemistry among other strategies. Nucleic acid chemistry and protein engineering enable direct access to biomacromolecules. Lipid and glycochemistry provide additional molecules of life.
