The article reports that a team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland has developed rotaxanes derived from synthetic peptide macrocycles and nonpeptidic diammonium threads. Rotaxanes is a bead-on-a string type structure in which a linear molecule threads through at least one cyclic molecule. According to researchers, synthetic peptide rotaxanes may provided insights into natural interlocked systems.
