The present review offers an overview of nonclassical (eg, with no pre-or in situ activation of
a carboxylic acid partner) approaches for the construction of amide bonds. The review aims …

The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is
an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in …

DNA is one of the most fascinating biopolymers. Besides its central role as carrier of genetic
information and translation of the genetic code into proteins, DNA holds great promise as a …

Self‐replication is a fundamental concept. The idea of an entity that can repeatedly create
more of itself has captured the imagination of many thinkers from von Neumann to …

The investigation of biological processes by chemical methods, commonly referred to as
chemical biology, often requires chemical access to biologically relevant macromolecules …

The construction of complex protein folds relies on the precise conversion of a linear
polypeptide chain into a compact 3-dimensional structure. The interplay of forces that link …

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Supramolecular Chemistry offers authoritative, centralized
