Biomimetics at the supramolecular level
 

At the supramolecular scale, biological systems consist of many different types of macromolecules and biocolloids. These structures experience a variety of weak and competing interactions which lead to many levels of supramolecular (self)-organization.

Biomimetic systems are model systems which are constructed in order to focus on certain aspects of this self-organization. The ultimate goal is to obtain a deeper and more quantitative understanding of such processes.

The study of biomimetic systems involves several scientific communities which provide different and complementary tools, namely: (bio)chemical methods in order to prepare the systems, (bio)physical methods to characterize the building blocks and their supramolecular organization, and theoretical methods in order to model and analyze these structures and their dynamics.
