Chirality is a property of asymmetry important to both physical and abstract systems. Understanding how molecular systems respond to perturbations in their chiral building blocks can provide insight into diverse areas such as biomolecular self‐assembly, protein folding, drug design, materials, and catalysis. Despite the fundamental importance of stereochemical preorganization in nature and designed
手性是对物理系统和抽象系统都重要的不对称性。了解分子系统如何响应其手性结构单元中的扰动可以提供对生物分子自组装,蛋白质折叠,药物设计,材料和催化等各个领域的深入了解。尽管立体化学预组织在自然界和设计的材料中具有根本的重要性,但是在生物分子系统的背景下用立体动力学原子模拟物取代手性中心的后果尚不明确。在此,我们证明用立体动力学的氮原子取代单个氨基酸的立体中心对生物分子系统的自组装具有深远的影响。
