DESCRIPTION:Our research group is interested in the application of supramo
 lecular chemistry to understand and manipulate biology.[1\,2] Our work phi
 losophy is based in the importance of weak and non-covalent forces to cont
 rol the shape and the topology of biomolecules\, which are governed by the
  principles described by supramolecular chemistry. These supramolecular le
 ssons can then be applied to control the properties and function of biomol
 ecules. We believe that by modulating the shape we can mimic\, control and
  improve functional behaviour. With focus in supramolecular interactions f
 or artificial membranes and tubular composites\, we investigate the constr
 uction of synthetic systems for controlling and emulating biology and life
 -like soft systems.[3-5]\n\nReferences\n[1] General review: A. Fuertes\, J
