During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three-way junction (3WJ). These configurations form a well-defined central ...

Induction and control of supramolecular chirality by CPL. When a normal light was used for the radical generation process, the solution after irradiation showed no circular dichroism (CD) activity ...

In a step toward smarter materials, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo collaborated with researchers from Switzerland to develop a smart hinge-like molecule that can indicate mechanical ...

Smart supramolecular assemblies Researchers synthesize biomimetic supramolecular polymers with the ability to form larger complexes in response to external stimuli, which may shed light on ...

Supramolecular Chemistry is a rapidly growing area at the interfaces between chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. It can be described as Chemistry Beyond the Molecule and the chemistry of ...

And supramolecular aggregates are flexible, dynamic materials that are hard to characterize, making it difficult to identify exactly where waters bind in a structure, ...

The eco-friendly "supramolecular" plastic is therefore highly recyclable and, with careful tuning of its water content, can be turned into an adhesive or even instantly self-heal when damaged.

Supramolecular chemistry is thus a valuable tool for the research, development and scaling of new materials for quantum technologies. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

Supramolecular chemistry can also be used in drug discovery by designing molecular receptors that selectively bind to specific drug targets. This can aid in screening of potential new drug candidates.

Researchers experimentally demonstrate a sub-nanometer molecular rectifier based on the supramolecular junction assembled between water and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) molecule. The ...

Supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) are crystalline porous frameworks materials formed through weak noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking.
