Alamanda Polymers was formed in 2007 to commercialize a superior method for the efficient production of well-defined polyamino acids. Alamanda's polymerization process enables complete control over the molecular weight of its polyamino acids without the use of metal catalysts. In other words, Alamanda can give researchers polypeptides and PEGylated polypeptides of the exact chain lengths (i.e. batch to batch consistency), and the product that is provided will contain ONLY polyamino acids of that length, rather than a mixture. Moreover, the process results in highly monodisperse products (polydispersity index: 1.01-1.2). Alamanda can also provide its expertise in polyamino acid chemistry or custom-synthesis services for contract research.
