  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006877",
  "term": "Macromolecular pseudorotaxane",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A supramolecular assembly formed by the non-covalent threading of a linear macromolecule through one or more macrocyclic molecules. Unlike a rotaxane, the components are not mechanically interlocked by bulky end-groups. The stability of the assembly relies on non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding or host-guest interactions.",
