Discovering privileged topologies of molecular knots with self-assembling models

Discovering privileged topologies of molecular knots with self-assembling models

Only a few different types of supramolecular knots have been synthesized so far. Here the authors use Monte Carlo sampling, molecular dynamics and combinatorics to discover new knot types made of identical templates.
