This thesis describes a spectrum of completed research in modelling of several types of
biochemical systems and materials. The emphasis is put on description of the utilized …

In the past decades, chemists have designed and investigated artificial self-replicating
molecules. A self-replicating molecule is one that can assemble its building blocks through …

Attempts to 'naturalize'phenomenology challenge both traditional phenomenology and
traditional approaches to cognitive science. They challenge Edmund Husserl's rejection of …

The development of artificial receptors for sensing and recognition of environmentally and
biologically important ionic species, especially transition and post-transition metal ions, is …

A great deal of attention in studying polyelectrolytes has arisen due to their wide industrial
use. These polymers have not received as much attention within the supramolecular …

Methylene blue (MB) and its derivatives have applications as photosensitizers in
photodynamic therapy. However, little is known about their interactions with phospholipid …

Molecules can be used as building blocks for the assembly of multicomponent
(supramolecular) structures exhibiting novel and complex functions that derive from the …

A new bipyridyl derivative 1 bearing rhodamine B as visible fluorophore was designed,
synthesized and characterized as a fluorescent and colorimetric sensor for metal ions …

This chapter outlines recent advances in the integration of enzyme‐based signal‐
processing systems operating as Boolean logic gates and their networks with various …

Chemical systems capable of templating and catalyzing their own synthesis—known as
replicating systems—have started to appear in the chemical literature over the last 25 years …
