21. The term "layer-block sequence" here refers to the order of disposition of the amino acid layers from the surface toward the interior of the dendron.
22. n refer to the nature of the amino acid layers from the surface toward the focal point of the dendrons, respectively. The protective groups on the N-termini are tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) groups.
