Natural MIMAs
« on: January 07, 2015, 12:06:51 AM »
Are there any known cases of naturally-occurring MIMAs (mechanically interlocked molecular architectures)?

Any reason why the simpler ones shouldn't form naturally, e.g. a catenane?

There are many biological examples.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
