Multivalent Binding of Sugar-Decorated Vesicles to Lectins

Multivalent Binding of Sugar-Decorated Vesicles to Lectins 

One of the major issues that has faced the development of applications of the CB[n] family - which has partially faded with Kim s direct functionalization route - is poor solubility in organic solvents. To improve the solubility in organic solvents and in 

Molecular Recognition Properties of Nor-Seco-Cucurbit[10]uril 

After we isolated ns-CB[10] we decided to study its molecular recognition behavior. Initially, we sought to define the functional group preferences of ns-CB[10] and its 

The first synthesis of CB[6] by Behrend in 1905, its structural elucidation by Mock and coworkers in 1981, and subsequent studies by Mock and coworkers throughout the 1980s demonstrated the significant potential of CB[6] in studies of molecular recognition in aqueous acidic solution. The field has taken rapid steps forward since 2000 with the discovery of the CB[n] homologs CB[5], CB[7], and CB[8] by the groups of Kim and Day, whose cavity volumes span and exceed those available with a-, h, and y-cyclodextrin. For example, the smaller CB[5] readily encapsulates gases [42],
