A large number of representative examples of mechanically interlocked molecules from the past decade have been described and discussed

Mechanically Interlocked Molecules

Specificity by Ring Size
Bicyclic peptides with optimized ring size inhibit enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds while sparing paralogous proteases

Selective Cellulose Conversion
A series of Ni-promoted W2C catalysts was prepared and evaluated for the catalytic conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol

HgII-Selective Fluorescent Indicator
A simple fluorescent indicator that undergoes a new type of reaction only in the presence of Hg(II) developed

Towards Understanding Color Perception
A rhodopsin protein mimic has been designed where wavelength absorption can be drastically tuned

New Route to Soluble Amidoborane Complexes
Several new synthetic routes to soluble magnesium parent-amidoborane complexes are reported

New Anode Material for Microbial Fuel Cells
The direct use of a natural 3D architecture in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is reported for the first time

Hitting Malaria Where It Hurts
Miniaturized high-throughput screening assays could help identify a prophylactic strategy against liver-stage malaria

Celebrating Single Molecules
Single-molecule methods have developed into a very powerful tool in medicine, chemistry, physics and biology
