The goal of biomimetic chemistry is to create molecules that function in similar ways to what is observed in nature. The subject is gaining attention because of its applications to, for example, artificial photosynthesis, biomaterials, and membranes. Because it tries to reproduce bioprocesses through synthetic chemistry, biomimetic chemistry is closely allied with chemical evolution, which has long been a topic of interest to astrochemists, geologists, and nuclear scientists. Exploring the connection between the two is one of the unique features of this book.
