In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

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 …

Enzymes are nanometer-sized molecules with three-dimensional structures created by the
folding and self-assembly of polymeric chain-like components through supramolecular …

The unique chiral structure of DNA has been a source of inspiration for the development of a
new class of bio-inspired catalysts. The novel concept of DNA-based asymmetric catalysis …

Guanine's array of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors lead it to take part in structures as
diverse as B-DNA, Z-DNA, hairpins, cruciforms, triplexes, and G-quadruplexes; these …

The enantioselective addition of water to olefins in an aqueous environment is a common
transformation in biological systems, but was beyond the ability of synthetic chemists. Here …

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material common to all of Earth's organisms. Our
biological understanding of DNA is extensive and well‐exploited. In recent years, chemists …

Covalent or non-covalent interactions with DNA are the basis for many potential biomedical
applications of copper complexes, ranging from DNA structural probes and footprinting …

Artificial metalloenzymes have emerged as a promising approach to merge the attractive
properties of homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis. The activity and selectivity, including …
