Expert Solution
Step 1

A tweezer is a chemical structure that have two or more binding sites and which converge on a single guest. A tweezer contains a cleft.

So, tweezers are supramolecular host molecules. These are biomimetic receptors. And are inspired from lock and key method of enzyme substrate interaction.
