Rotaxane mimics ribosome to spin out peptides | Chemistry World

Rotaxane mimics ribosome to spin out peptides | Chemistry World - The field of molecular machines has taken a new bio-inspired turn to assemble another molecule, in this case linking up individual amino acids into a peptide. While this molecular peptide synthesiser isn’t going to rival a ribosome for speed any time soon, it does suggest a way to make multicomponent polymers.(10.1126/science.1229753)
