- Title
Mechanochemistry: Force probes in a bottle.
- Authors
Lenhardt, Jeremy M.; Craig, Stephen L.
- Abstract
The article focuses on an approach to force spectroscopy that involves using small molecules to apply the forces, introduced by Roman Boulatov and colleagues. The internal strain of a cyclic molecule was used in the molecular force probe developed Boulatov and colleagues to apply force to a reactive group within the molecule. A challenge in applying the concept to molecules is cited. The reason that the forces generated by the molecular probe are inferred from quantum-chemical calculations is also mentioned.
