Conformation-dependent sequence design CDSD

In a series of publications [18-20], the concept of conformation-dependent sequence design (CDSD) of functional copolymers has been introduced (for recent reviews, see [21-25]). The essence of the proposed approach is based on the assumption that a copolymer obtained under certain preparation conditions is able to remember features of the original ( parent ) conformation in which it was built and to store the corresponding information in the resulting chemical sequence. In other words, this concept takes into account... 

It is clear that information complexity and LRCs cannot emerge just as a result of random permutations of monomeric units in a copolymer chain. Some coupling of chemical modifications to other factors is necessary. It is most straightforward to introduce the interrelation of chemical modifications and chain conformations. Such a consideration leads naturally to a concept of conformation-dependent sequence design (CDSD) in synthetic polymer chemistry.
