We are a group of synthetic chemists and biochemists that enjoys creating complex macromolecular objects capable of evolving into functional nanostructures within cells.
Congratulations to Yong, Zhixuan and Konrad for imgaing supramolecular polymerization in living cells, in real-time! We hope it will provide chemists with more possibilities to see these dynamic features.
Patrick and Raphael picked up a side reaction from their project and found a massive story behind it. Would not have been possible without their keen perception!
Great efforts by Zhixuan and Konrad to control the formation of Pt(II)-based nanofibers in cells. They have elucidated that these fibers exhibit anti-metabolic functions which disrupt ATP production.
Zhixuan and Konrad summarizes both the community and our efforts into conducting covalent and supramolecular polymerizations in living cells. We are honored for this invitation!
Take a look at our most recent review on synthetic concepts to create supramolecular architectures inside living cells! Many thanks to Sarah for her effort!
