Bringing Nanospace to Life by Adapting Pore Environments to Chemical Complexity
The conformational flexibility and biological function of proteins is dictated by the positioning of a few amino acids into specific arrangements linked by peptide bonds. We intend to implement this same principle of sequencing, essential to biology, to synthetic porous materials by encoding pore environments with atomic precision to control structural response and function. The road to this vision remains blocked by the lack of methodologies and understanding which is required to untap the value of pore chemistry in controlling the conformational response of frameworks and encapsulated guests. LIVINGPORE is structured around the complementary concepts of ‘transformable’ and…
