Abstract

The molecular interactions play a great role in both chemistry and biology. To design better supramolecular systems and biologically active agents, it is indispensable to understand the mechanism involved in noncovalent interactions. In general, noncovalent interactions in natural complexes are overly complicated, and the precise geometry of an interaction in a conformationally dynamic biomolecule is hard to determine. Thus, the molecules, like the folding molecules, in which the small alterations in geometry lead to a considerable strength change of interaction, could be served as “molecular balances” to offer an attractive platform for the study of noncovalent interactions.
