Title:
SYNTHETIC MOLECULAR SPRING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002073062
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Synthetic molecular spring device featuring: (a) a synthetic molecular assembly, SMA, each scalable chemical module including; (i) at least one atom, M, (ii) at least one complexing group, CG, complexed to an atom, M, (iii) at least one axial ligand, AL, reversibly physicochemically paired with at least one atom, M complexed to a complexing group, CG, (iv) at least one substantially elastic molecular linker, ML, having body and two ends with at least one chemically bonded to another component of SMA; (b) activating mechanism, AM, operatively directed to an atom-axial ligand pair, whereby following activating mechanism, AM, sending activating signal, AS/AS', to an atom-axial ligand pair for physicochemically modifying the atom-axial ligand pair, there is activating at least one cycle of spring-type elastic reversible transitions between contracted and expanded linear conformational states of molecular linker, ML. Optionally includes (v) chemical connectors, CC, and/or, (vi) binding sites, BS.
