My second comment is apropos of Channing Robertson s remarks, which I admired. In regard to polymers, it seems to me that the time has come to adopt again a unifying approach like that of Charles Tanford, professor of biochemistry at Duke University, who wrote the book Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules comparing biopolymers with synthetic polymers. In polymer synthesis, let s look at the synthesis of peptides, amino acid by amino acid, and the desynthesis of peptides by sequencing, and bring this into our curriculum.
