Host Guest Molecular Interactions

Download or read book Host-Guest Molecular Interactions written by Derek J. Chadwick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed of contributions from experts in the chemical and biological sciences, it explores host-guest molecular interactions leading to the formation of molecular assemblies containing two or more species. Exciting applications are emerging in this field and it is expected that improved understanding of the interactions in synthetic host molecule complexes will lead to a better understanding of the more complex biological systems. Topics include biomimetic chemistry, preorganization, self-assembly, template-directed synthesis, antibiotic binding to peptides and DNA, interactions between proteins and other molecules.
