Robotic ribosome-mimicking rotaxanes featured on Chemistry World

Congratulations to our Chemical Science Associate Editor, Professor David A Leigh, for recently being featured on Chemistry World for his latest work in using artificial molecular machines to mimic ribosomes in assembling peptides.  These exciting new ‘robot ribosomes’ designed and studied by Dave’s research group have been gaining more and more attention, also having been highlighted in Chemistry and Engineering News (C&EN).

You can also read Dave’s latest Chem Soc Rev Tutorial Review on template synthesis of molecular knots, and his 2012 Chem Comm paper on half-rotation in a kinetically locked [2]catenane.

Dave is an expert in supramolecular chemistry, focussing on the development of new methods for the synthesis of catenanes and rotaxanes, and on experimental synthetic molecular machine design.
