Direct dynamic read-out of molecular chirality with autonomous enzyme-driven swimmers

2021-10-14
News: This work describes a first example of autonomous miniaturized swimmers which can detect the chirality of molecules present in solution by adapting their trajectories at the air/water interface. In the presence of one enantiomer they will swimm clockwise, in the presence of the other enantiomer the motion will be anti-clockwise. See also press release by CNRS

Chirality induction to achiral molecules by silica-coated chiral molecular assemblies

2021-07-23
News: Hybrid silica-organic nanohelices are used to organize a large variety of non-chiral small organic molecules or inorganic anions to nanometer-sized assemblies. Such chiral organization of achiral molecules induces chiroptical properties as detected by vibrational or electronic circular dichroism (CD), as well as from circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). This is a collaborative work with  University of Rome Tor Vergata and University of Kumamoto
