Researchers have developed a system for designing protein inhibitors with reversible activity. The method is based on a supramolecular drug that results from the interaction of two or more molecules ...

Versatile molecular frameworks called discrete supramolecular structures act like microscopic building blocks customizable for a wide variety of applications. The structures can serve in drug delivery ...

A polymer that catalyzes its own formation in an environmentally friendly solvent-free process has been developed by an all-RIKEN team of chemists. The discovery could lead to the development of ...

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Researchers from Tsinghua University explore how ...

Researchers from Japan have unlocked the potential of tannic acid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene oxide by using them to synthesize strong and smart supramolecular gels in a zero-waste ...

Researchers have created 'smart' microparticles that self-assemble in response to the addition of a specific molecule. This work can help explain the behavior of biomolecular complexes, as well as ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

(a) An insoluble crystalline polymorphic state inhibits supramolecular polymerization at high concentrations. (b) Mixing the coformer molecule with the parent monomer in the solidification process ...

Several chemistry groups have been competing to make increasingly large cagelike supramolecules that can do useful things, such as host biomolecular guests or act as drugs. The effort is like trying ...

Beauty giant L’Oréal has just taken a minority stake in Shinehigh Innovation, a Chinese biotech company specialising in supramolecular chemistry. L’Oréal says it wants to bring in the application of ...
