3.5.7 Receptor Configurations

Many different useful receptor configurations may be readily envisioned, of which the following brief descriptions are but a small sample. Note that most large target molecules of nanomedical interest are proteins which are probably floppy enough to permit entry into reasonably open multiply-concave rigid receptor structures; if not, hinges are easily added to the receptor design.
