Abstract

The combination of chemistry and biology has gained increased interest among scientists over the past decade. The goal of chemists has become to mimic biological structures by chemical means.[1] A good example of this is the development of wholly synthetic analogues of lipid vesicles. These are thought to be critical components in the evolution of life, since they would allow the necessary compartmentalization for complex biochemical ...
