John Matthiesen publishes in Angewandte Chemie International Edition with CBiRC members. Sugars were converted to monomers using a cascade process that streamlines metabolic engineering and electrochemistry. The obtained monomer, 3-hexenedioic acid, yields unsaturated Nylon 6,6 with tunable properties.
