Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are tailor-made receptors that possess the most important feature of biological antibodies
and receptors – specific molecular recognition. They can thus be used in applications where selective binding events [...]

Molecular imprinting is a process that allows for the synthesis of artificial receptors for a given target molecule based
on synthetic polymers. The target molecule acts as a template around which interacting and cross-linking monomers are [...]

Mechanically interlocked objects are ubiquitous in our world. They can be spotted on almost every scale of matter and in virtually
every sector of society, spanning cultural, temporal, and physical boundaries the world over. From art to machinery, [...]

Abstract  The present chapter is focused on how synthetic molecular machines (e.g. shuttles, switches and molecular motors) and size
switches (conversions between polymers and their units, i.e., conversions between relatively large and [...]

Supramolecular chemistry aims at implementing highly complex chemical systems from molecular components held together by non-covalent
intermolecular forces and effecting molecular recognition, catalysis and transport processes. A further step [...]

This chapter addresses the limits of low-field NMR spectroscopy for chemical analysis and will answer the question of whether
high-resolution NMR spectroscopy for chemical analysis of solutions can be achieved with magnetic fields much lower than [...]

In this chapter we describe the application of CW and pulsed EPR methods for the investigation of structural and dynamical
properties of RNA and DNA molecules and their interaction with small molecules and proteins. Special emphasis will be given
[...]

Integral membrane proteins are vital to life, being responsible for information and material exchange between a cell and its
environment. Although high-resolution structural information is needed to understand how these functions are achieved, [...]

Amino acid functionalized naphthalenediimides (NDIs) when dissolved in chloroform form a dynamic combinatorial library (DCL)
in which the NDI building blocks are connected through reversible hydrogen bonds forming a versatile new supramolecular [...]

Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is emerging as a mature method for chemically interrogating the proteome of a cell.
This chapter serves to introduce the reader to ABPP by providing overviews of the general principles of the technique, [...]
