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 …

The quasispecies model describes processes related to the origin of life and viral
evolutionary dynamics. We discuss how the error catastrophe that reflects the transition from …

Two novel macrocyclic molecular probes linked to two nitrophenylurea and two
nitrophenylthiourea groups, respectively, are reported. It was found that these systems can …

Molecular logic-based computation continues to throw up new applications in sensing and
switching, the newest of which is the edge detection of objects. The scope of this …

Processes involving multi-input multi-step reaction cascades are used in developing novel
biosensing, biocomputing, and decision making systems. In various applications different …

Peptide sequences modified with lanthanide-chelating groups at their N-termini, or at their
lysine side chains, were synthesized, and new Ln (III) complexes were characterized. We …

The flow of information is as crucial to life as the flow of energy1, 2. Chemical reaction
networks such as those found in metabolism and signalling pathways enable cells to …

Some standard ideas about the origin of life based on classical physics and chemistry are
described. The subject of the quantum world and growing evidence for quantum biology is …

The study of synthetic molecular networks is of fundamental importance for understanding
the organizational principles of biological systems. An important family of the nonenzymatic …

Rational design and synthesis of novel (fluorescent) chemosensors is an active area of
supramolecular chemistry. The recognition and signaling moieties are the most important …
