Abstract

This paper presents a computational approach to the deliberate design of improved host architectures. De novo molecule building software, HostDesigner, is interfaced with molecular mechanics software, GMMX, providing a tool for generating and screening millions of potential structures. The efficacy of this computer-aided design methodology is illustrated with a search for bisurea podands that are structurally organized for complexation with tetrahedral oxoanions.
