Abstract
The field of molecular electronics is characterized by an attempt to engineer and use devices on a molecular level. Supramolecular chemistry is one way to produce such molecular devices. However, long before supramolecular chemists tried to synthesize highly organized artificial systems often employing principles of living nature, nature itself has produced and optimized biological systems on a molecular device level during a long period of evolution.
