Abstract

The remarkable range of chemical functions that evolution has elicited from biopolymers has inspired chemists to design synthetic systems that can mimic both the structural and functional features of these elegant long-chain molecules. Although the efforts to mimic functions such as molecular recognition, catalysis, and so forth has led to the development of systems such as molecular-imprint polymers,[1] the attempts to understand and emulate ...
