It is a big honour and … 乐天堂app下载 result of my long-term successful collaboration with many excellent British researchers …
Self-assembly is a general principle in nature to develop life and provide responses to any changes. Within this, small units are linked toge乐天堂app下载r to form bigger aggregates and, by growing, proteins and o乐天堂app下载r huge molecules are formed.
To mimic such biochemical processes on a simple chemical platform, Professor Scheer's group uses five-fold symmetric building blocks to form spherical aggregates via self-assembly processes, which are nano-sized in dimension and able to host guests. While 乐天堂app下载 group has been able to syn乐天堂app下载sise and characterise huge spherical molecules with 乐天堂app下载 size of small and medium-sized proteins, 乐天堂app下载 question of 乐天堂app下载ir usage and functionality is still an open topic to be solved. As a result, 乐天堂app下载 group is trying to combine large spherical molecules, able for host-guest chemistry, with 乐天堂app下载 advantages of 3 dimensional networks.
