    Life emerges from an ensemble of interacting molecules. Some of them react with each other to constitute metabolism, and some of them organize into functional higher-order structures. Chemical reactions and supramolecular interactions are ingeniously integrated to support the existence of life. How do chemical reactions control and regulate molecular organization? How does the molecular organization feedback and regulate chemical reactions? These basic questions are strongly related to fundamental chemical principles and the origin of life. We try to develop systems chemistry tools to answer these questions and also convert our understanding of living things to the invention of new intelligent materials.
