The macroions are perfect models to understand some fundamental biological behaviors such as the self-recognition and chiral selection of biological assemblies. Inorganic macroions can achieve the level of self-recognition similar to biomolecules in dilute solution, even among those with identical size, shape and charge, or enantiomers. The metal-organic cage-based macroions containing amino acid components can be used for clarifying the chiral discrimination phenomenon among amino acids, which is connected to the homochirality feature of our lives.
