Synthetic self-assembled models with biomimetic functions.
Self-assembly can be considered a powerful tool in the hand of chemists for the understanding, modeling and mimicking of biological systems. The possibility of reproducing biological functions in synthetic systems obtained by self-assembly is envisioned as a modest but very important step towards the understanding of the mystery of life and its emergence on Earth.
