This presentation by Phillip Hayes outlines his academic and personal journey in chemistry and explores innovative research directions in dynamic interactive nanosystems. It covers previous project work, including the synthesis of marine sponge alkaloids, and describes the current focus on guanidinium-based phosphate recognition platforms and G-quadruplex ligands. The aim is to develop functional nanomaterials for DNA recognition and create nanoreservoir systems for small molecule binding. The presentation encourages collaboration and idea generation in cutting-edge nanoscience applications.

Dynamic interactive nanosystems and nanoreservoirs Objectives • Synthesiselibraries of compounds that have potential DNA / G Quadruplex bindingcapabilities • Developfunctionalnanomaterials capable of DNA recognition properties, usingConstitutionalDynamicChemistry. • Developnanoreservoirsystems capable of smallmoleculebinding for QCM signal amplification
DNA / G Quadruplex recognition • Shape dependentupon how G quartets stack. • Loop structure varies – parallel or anti-parallel looping
G Quadruplex Ligands • Ligands bindstrongly to stabilise the G Quadruplex structure • Show preferentialaffinity for certain quadruplex loop structures • Createlibraries of moleculescontainingfunctionalitiessimilar to moleculesshown. • Ligand withmost stable affinity – express itself.
