This paper provides an excellent review of recent advances in the use of encoded combinatorial libraries in molecular recognition. Particular use is made of the split bead strategy to screen both libraries of substrates for binding to a given receptor and libraries of receptors for binding to a target substrate.

Several strategies are employed, including the use of oligourea templates and rigid extended peptidomimetics to enforce β-sheet structure.

This paper (and those following) describes a highly original approach to artificial receptor design based on self-assembly from multiple components. Glycouril subunits are the centerpiece of a strategy in which two components dimerize by complementary hydrogen bonding to form a large, spherical cavity.

This paper extends the seminal work from Whitlock and Whitlock (1990; [35]) on synthetic cyclophane receptors. In this example, a pyridine-functionalized cyclophane shows significant rate acceleration in a decarboxylation reaction.
