The lungs also disperse bodily fluids, defend the body from a cold or flu, govern the sense of smell, and open in the nose. Dysfunction of the Lungs leads to colds, the flu, phlegm, and
Molecular tweezers Molecular tweezers Molecular tweezers, and molecular clips, are host molecules with open cavities capable of binding guest molecules. The open cavity of the molecular tweezers may bind guests using non-covalent bonding which includes hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, π-π interactions, and/or electrostatic effects. These complexes are a subset of macrocyclic molecular receptors and their structure is that the two "arms" that bind the guest molecule between them are only connected at one end leading to a certain flexibility of these receptor molecules (induced fit model). The term "molecular tweezers" was first used by Whitlock. The
