Controlling the topology and structure of entangled molecular strands is a key challenge in molecular engineering, particularly when attempting to create large nanostructures that mimic biological ...

In this research, they succeeded in synthesizing molecular nanocarbons with knots and catenanes, which are basic types of topology. Molecules called catenanes and knots have been synthesized since ...

The concept of membrane-protein topology is at least 30-years old. However, proteome-wide data on topology, increasing numbers of high-resolution structures and detailed studies on individual ...

A team has synthesized a belt-shaped molecular nanocarbon with a twisted Möbius band topology, i.e., a Möbius carbon nanobelt. Obtaining structurally uniform nanocarbons -- ideally as single ...

Although molecular rings are quite familiar, ... This article was originally published with the title “ Chemical Topology ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 207 No. 5 (November 1962), ...

David A. Leigh, an expert in complex molecular topology at the University of Manchester, says it’s remarkable to see a process that threads and cyclizes such large, regularly sized rings.

video: Molecular structure of an all-benzene knot. X-ray crystallography was used to prove that this is a molecule with a knot topology. Carbon atoms are colored in gray and hydrogen atoms are ...
