Transition-metal-catalyzed reactions have been studied since the very beginning of the past
century and represent a great success in organic chemistry, along with the birth and growth …

Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

The past several decades have witnessed great progress in the understanding of the high-
order structure of biomacromolecules. Currently, it is well-recognized that folding of proteins …

Since the discovery of crown ethers, macrocycles have been recognized as powerful
platforms for supramolecular chemistry. Although their numbers and variations are now …

Molecular self-assembly is an essential process in biological systems to perform
sophisticated functions. Along the same line, development of artificial self-assembled …

Protein channels are characterized by high transport selectivity, which is essential for
maintaining cellular function. Efforts to reproduce such high selectivity over the past four …

Currently, completely abiotic channel systems that concurrently reproduce the high
selectivity and high permeation rate of natural protein channels are rare. Here, we provide …

Hollow tubular aquapores inside aquafoldamers can be created via the “sticky” end-
mediated formation of 1D chiral helical stacks involving same-handed helices, and are …

As a major class of foldamers, aromatic oligoamide foldamers have attracted intense
interest. The rigidity of aromatic residues and amide linkages allows the development of …
