Catenane organocatalyst breaks the linear scaling limitation through conformational selection
Conformational dynamics are integral to enzyme catalysis, yet they are barely explored when designing synthetic catalysts. Now, a catenane-based organocatalyst, which dynamically switches between two conformations, speeds up the catalysis of carbodiimide hydration through spontaneous conformational...
