The Exclusivity of Multivalency in Dynamic Covalent Processes

Less is more: It is much less efficient to synthesize both components of a multivalent recognition site separately than it is to use one multivalent component to act as a template for the catalytically orchestrated construction of the other component, as demonstrated by the formation of the mechanic...

Summary:Less is more: It is much less efficient to synthesize both components of a multivalent recognition site separately than it is to use one multivalent component to act as a template for the catalytically orchestrated construction of the other component, as demonstrated by the formation of the mechanically interlocked, triply threaded molecular bundle shown. The situation is reminiscent of nature.
