Abstract

Mixtures of peptoids are provided. The subject peptoid mixtures comprise at least five non-homopolymeric polymers of differing sequences having a selected number of monomer units. The polymers of the subject mixtures are preferably selected from the group of compounds of the general formula: X.sub.a --(NR--CH.sub.2 --CO).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(O--CHR--CO).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(NH--CHR--CS).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(NOH--CHR--CO).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(O--CHR--CH.sub.2 --CO).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(NH--CHR--CH.sub.2 --SO.sub.2).sub.n --Xb, Xa--(NR--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --SO.sub.2).sub.n --X.sub.b, X.sub.a --(NR--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --NHCO).sub.n --X.sub.b and X.sub.a --(NR--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --OCO).sub.n X.sub.b, where each R is independently a side chain capable of interaction with a protein, carbohydrate, lipid or nucleic acid; n is an integer from 2 to 50, inclusive; and X.sub.a and X.sub.b are each independently H, lower alkyl, lower aryl, aralkyl, lower acyl, a polypeptide of 1-100 amino acids, or an effector molecule capable of exhibiting biological activity.
