Cage-shaped molecule that changes from left-handed to right-handed when a metal ion enters its inner cavity. The conversion speed varies up to 1000 times depending on the size of the metal ion (K +, ...

The control of artificial double-helical structures, which are essential for the development of high-order molecular systems, remains difficult. In a new study, researchers have developed novel double ...

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.
