Abstract
Lights, camera, action! The general mechanism of biomolecular recognition introduced by Pauling more than 50 years ago has now been brought to the movie screen (see still frame; D: D-Phe-D-Phe, L: L-Phe-L-Phe). With STM movies, the chiral-recognition process of individual adsorbed di-phenylalanine molecules is followed to illustrate the dynamic induced-fit mechanism at the single-molecule level.
