What does PNA have to do with chemistry (part I)?

We are often asked what exactly we do as a team at PNA. That is why we thought it would be fun to present a number of analogies in the series 'What does PNA have in common with...?

At first glance, a banking player (such as ABN AMRO) looks very different from a space organisation (such as ESA) or a government agency that has to issue permits (such as Rijkswaterstaat) or provide benefits (such as SVB). In chemistry, a living human being initially looks like something very different from, say, a wooden table. However, both consist largely of water and carbon atoms. All objects in the real world consist of a mix of elements from the periodic table that, in a certain mix and composition, lead to the unique structure of the 'end product'. PNA has mapped all the elements of knowledge in its knowledge triangle and depicted the main lines of interaction in knowledge in the knowledge molecule.
