title: Novel approaches to molecular recognition using porphyrins.
abstract: Studies of molecular recognition using designed and synthesised molecules provide valuable information on the principle and possible applications of artificial functional molecules. Porphyrin-based receptors have been used to elucidate haem-protein interactions and the basic mechanism of multi-point recognition.
