Complementary pairs for next generation self-assembled systems

这个项目将采用一组互补的配对，其中不同的位置以与其他配对垂直的特定方式在金属离子处装配在一起，例如两个拼图，而与其他配对的配对效果较差。这些配对将允许保留和转移结构信息。这样，相对简单的前体的本体结合将导致具有明确序列同一性的自组装结构。该计划将制造和使用复杂的非生物分子，提高分子信息存储和传输、分子识别和传感、化学转化和能源运输活动的成果，为澳大利亚的工业和制造业带来经济和环境效益。

This project will employ a set of complementary pairings where separate sites fit together at metal ions in a specific fashion orthogonal to other pairings, like two jigsaw pieces, while forming a poor fit with other pairings. These pairings will allow retention and transfer of structural information. In this way, the bulk combination of relatively simple precursors will lead to self-assembled structures with well-defined sequence identity. This program will make and use complex abiotic molecules, enhancing outcomes in molecular information storage and transfer, molecular recognition and sensing, chemical transformations, and energy transport events, leading to economic and environmental benefits for Australia in industry and manufacturing.
