The general mechanism of biomolecular recognition introduced by Pauling more than 50 years ago has now been brought to the movie screen (see still frame; D: D‐Phe‐D‐Phe, L: L‐Phe‐L‐Phe). With STM movies, the chiral‐recognition process of individual adsorbed di‐phenylalanine m...

Zusammenfassung:Lights, camera, action! The general mechanism of biomolecular recognition introduced by Pauling more than 50 years ago has now been brought to the movie screen (see still frame; D: D‐Phe‐D‐Phe, L: L‐Phe‐L‐Phe). With STM movies, the chiral‐recognition process of individual adsorbed di‐phenylalanine molecules is followed to illustrate the dynamic induced‐fit mechanism at the single‐molecule level.
