 Foresight Update 26 Page 2
As Lehn writes: "The contribution of supramolecular chemistry to chemical synthesis has two main aspects: the production of the non-covalent supramolecular species themselves and the use of supramolecular features to assist in the synthesis of covalent molecular structures." Both of these options can create atomically precise components useful in molecular mechanisms.
Since the catalysts that he shows have their geometry defined by covalent bonds rather than by the hydrophobic effects that contribute to the folding of protein enzymes, one might expect these new catalysts to be more useful in a machine phase environment than proteins are.
Lehn writes: "Supramolecular catalysts are by nature abiotic chemical reagents that may perform the same overall processes as enzymes, without following the detailed pathway by which enzymes actually effect them or under the conditions in which enzymes do not operate.

This is the first modern textbook, written in the 21st century, to make explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry.
In the latter part of the 20th century, the field of physical organic chemistry went through dramatic changes, with an increased emphasis on noncovalent interactions and their roles in molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and biology; the development of new materials with novel structural features; and the use of computational methods.
His primary research is in physical organic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry, with specific interests in catalysts for phosphoryl and glycosyl transfers, receptors for carbohydrates and enolates, single and multi-analyte sensors – the development of an electronic tongue, and synthesis of polymeric molecules that exhibit unique abiotic secondary structure.
