Polypeptoids featuring N‐substituted polyglycine backbones are an emerging class of peptidomimetic polymers. Their physical, chemical and biological properties are strongly dependent on the N‐substituent structures and can be readily tailored via synthesis. Donghui Zhang et al. discuss recent developments in the synthetic methods used to fabricate polypeptoids and evidence why they are an attractive and promising biomimetic platform for macromolecular and supramolecular engineering.
