Peptides in dynamic combinatorial chemistry : from reinforced molecular recognition to mechanosensitive self-replication

Biological receptors such as antibodies and enzymes can bind their guest molecules with association constants that are, on average, several orders of magnitude greater than those observed in synthetic, water-based host-guest systems. This is believed to be made possible by secondary interactions wit...
