Nature has evolved large and complex molecules - proteins - which are comprised of simple building blocks that fold into specific three-dimensional shapes. These folded molecules are important for mediating many physiological chemical reactions. We are interested in examining the weak interactions that hold these molecules in their precise three-dimensional shape, and attempting to replicate them in simple synthetic systems. This involves the design and synthesis of molecules designed to fold into specific shapes, and simulation of their properties using high-level quantum calculation. The insight provided by these calculations will allow us to understand the forces that shape the properties of these small, designed molecules, and will also permit us to potentially emulate the exquisite specificity and reactivity exhibited by natural systems. We hope that this understanding will allow us to develop small, functional molecules that emulate some of the desirable properties of proteins.

自然界已经进化出了大而复杂的分子-蛋白质-它们由简单的构建块组成，可以折叠成特定的三维形状。这些折叠的分子对于介导许多生理化学反应是重要的。我们感兴趣的是研究将这些分子保持在精确的三维形状中的弱相互作用，并试图在简单的合成系统中复制它们。这涉及设计和合成分子，这些分子被设计成特定的形状，并使用高级量子计算模拟它们的性质。这些计算所提供的洞察力将使我们能够理解塑造这些小的设计分子特性的力量，也将使我们能够潜在地模仿自然系统所表现出的精致特异性和反应性。我们希望这种理解将使我们能够开发出小型功能分子，以模仿蛋白质的一些理想特性。
