In chemistry, a molecular knot is a mechanically interlocked molecular architecture that is analogous to a macroscopic knot. [1] Naturally-forming molecular knots are found in organic molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins.
14 gru 2020 · This 74 knot topology corresponds to that of an endless knot, which is a basic motif of Celtic interlace, the smallest Chinese knot and one of the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism and...
• Knot theory and closely related ideas in topology can be applied to modern chemistry. • Knots can be formed in single molecules as well as in materials and biological fibres using a mixture of self-assembly, metal templating and optical manipulation. • The inclusion of knots in molecular structures can
Graphical Abstract. Thou shalt knot …. This Review gives an overview of the field of closed-loop molecular entanglements in terms of their synthesis, and outlines the principles of knot, braid, and tangle theory appropriate to chemistry and molecular structure.
This tutorial review provides a brief introduction to the mathematics of knots and related topological concepts in the context of the chemical sciences. We then survey the broad range of applications of the theory to contemporary research in the field.
4 gru 2020 · Molecular knots are evolving from academic curiosities to a practically useful class of mechanically interlocked molecules, capable of performing unique tasks at the nanoscale. In this comment,...
28 kwi 2021 · Today's article is all about knots; we'll look at different knot invariants that allow us to distinguish between them, and we'll even see what knot theory has to do with preventing bacterial infections.
