Size theoryIn mathematics, size theory studies the properties of topological spaces endowed with -valued functions, with respect to the change of these functions. More formally, the subject of size theory is the study of the natural pseudodistance between size pairs. A survey of size theory can be found in The beginning of size theory is rooted in the concept of size function, introduced by Frosini. Size functions have been initially used as a mathematical tool for shape comparison in computer vision and pattern recognition.
Molecular recognitionThe term molecular recognition refers to the specific interaction between two or more molecules through noncovalent bonding such as hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, π-π interactions, halogen bonding, or resonant interaction effects. In addition to these direct interactions, solvents can play a dominant indirect role in driving molecular recognition in solution. The host and guest involved in molecular recognition exhibit molecular complementarity.
Cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaireLa cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire, aussi connue sous le nom de cycloaddition de Huisgen ou réaction de Huisgen est une réaction en chimie organique appartenant à la grande famille des cycloadditions péricycliques concertées. C'est une réaction entre un 1,3-dipôle et un dipolairophile, la plupart du temps un alcène substitué, pour former un cycle à cinq atomes. Rolf Huisgen fut le premier à effectuer des recherches sur cette réaction en variant les 1,3-dipôles et à considérer son importance dans la synthèse d'hétérocycles à cinq atomes.
