Molecular biology achieves control over complex reaction networks by means of molecular systems that translate a chemical input into an orthogonal chemical output but the application of dynamic foldamers has been limited by the restriction to stereochemical changes that produce spectroscopic signals. Here, the authors present an artificial molecular translation device that converts a chemical input into an unrelated chemical output.
