===Definition of complexity===
 
 
'''C = M*I*I'''
 
 
==M: Multiplicity==
 
# One single molecule can present several properties e.g. Multiplicity of binding sites, number of energy levels....
 
# Mutiplicity of components: number of components (molecular) /constituents (supramolecular) in the system
 
 
==I: Interaction==
 
# Complentaries of shapes, of charges, of energy levels (Program writing / reading)
 
# Thermodynamic and kinetic of the interaction (reversibility, lability), covalent / non-covalent bonds, short-range/long-range
 
C/ Interactions of molecules with their environments (possibly in flux of energies far from equilibrium)
 
 
==I: Integration==
 
# Collective structuring
 
# In space: From sub-nano, to meso, to macro
 
# In time: Modulation of structures, oscillations
 
# Emergence of new properties because of the network topologies (feedback loops)
 
# Emergence of new functions
 
 
 
===Characteristics for supramolecular complexity===
 
 
==Specificity of interactions and integrations==
 
# From bimolecular recognition (host-guest) to large self-assemblies
 
# Hierarchy of self-assemblies
 
 
==Dynamics is important and can take place at the three levels M, I, and I in time and space==
 
# Conformational Dynamic
 
# Constitutional dynamic: reversibility of the structure of the systems components
 
# Network dynamics in coupled reactions
 
# Reversible dynamics at the three levels allow adaptation
 
 
==Reversibility is an important requirement for evolvability==
 
# Creates stocastic behavior for exploration of phenotypes
 
# Generate adaptativity by "mutations" which are driven by internal, or environmental parameters (e.g. stimuli, effectors)
 
 
==Cooperativity is part of the integration processes which is important for modulations==
 
# Allosteric effects
 
# Long range interactions and colective behaviors (e.g. phase transitions)
 
# Auto-catalysis and cross-catalysis
 
# Cooperativity allows emergence
 
 
 
===Consequences of supramolecular complexity===
 
 
==Diversity==
 
==Selection==
 
==Evolution==
 
==New functions==
 
==Open questions==
 
# Is supramolecular complexity (one of the) the support to produce thinking matter?
 
# If yes, is this pathway continuous or does it present at one point a strong nonlinearity in evolution? Information/consciousness?
 
 
===Possible Applications and societal implications===
 
==Medicine==
 
# Drugs
 
# Transfections - Delivery
 
# Imaging
 
 
==Celullar biology==
 
# Understanding of the construction of molecular networks
 
# Understanding protein foldings
 
# Biomimetic behaviors
 
 
==Environmental sciences==
 
# CO2 capture
 
# Water purification
 
 
==Chemistry and materials==
 
# Catalysis
 
# Organic electronics
 
# Solar cells
 
# Self-healing materials
 
# Smart materials (responsive/adaptive)
 
# Molecular motors
 
# Information processing and engineering
