"replaced peptides surround active site natural enzymes with peptoids self-assembled nanoscale crystalline tubes and sheets... mimic the function of proteins. They have several unique features, including high stability, that allow scientists to address the deficiencies of the natural enzymes. In this case, they offer a high density of active sites, which is impossible to obtain with a natural enzyme... organize active sites and tune environments for catalytic activity... higher density active sites, instead of one active site"
