Supramolecular chemistry Uses Medicine
Supramolecular chemistry is also important to the development of new drug therapies. Supramolecular chemists study the interactions at a drug binding site. The area of drug delivery has also made critical advances as a result of supramolecular chemistry providing encapsulation and targeted release mechanisms. In addition, supramolecular systems have been designed to disrupt protein-protein interactions that are important to cellular function.
