Chemical and biochemical approaches for the design of functional supramolecular systems

为了实现生物系统的最佳能量、时间和催化性能，大自然开发了依赖于自组装、结构层次和单个结构组分的协同特性的非凡策略。这些策略激励我们进行生物启发研究，以创造分子和策略，遵循特定应用的生物学例子。我们的研究计划旨在对两个特定主题的功能系统自组装的潜在机制的基本理解：1)阴离子转运到靶细胞膜和2)催化中的非共价相互作用。基于我们在自组装、跨膜运输、有机和生物有机领域的强大专业知识，这些策略将用于生成智能超分子系统。

To achieve the best energy, time and catalytic performance of biological systems, nature has developed remarkable strategies that rely on self-assembly, structural hierarchy and synergetic properties of individual structural components. These strategies motivate us to conduct bio-inspired research to create molecules and strategies that follow biological examples for specific applications. Our research program aims the fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms in the self-assembly of functional systems towards two specific themes: 1) anion transporters to target cell membranes and 2) non covalent interactions in catalysis. These strategies will be used to generate smart supramolecular systems based on our strong expertise in self-assembly, transmembrane transport, organic and bio-organic areas.
