  • the coiling conformation, giving rise to a compressed 5-membered-ring transition state. Later, the authors offered a detailed discussion regarding the mechanism of this reaction [73]. This example of using a synthetic receptor to achieve site-selective reaction fully showed how a molecular container

Graphical Abstract
  • concentrations potentially allows greater control over certain biological functions. In order to permit remote regulation of Ca2+, a selective BAPTA-type synthetic receptor / host was integrated with a photoswitchable azobenzene motif, which upon photoirradiation would enhance (or diminish) the capacity to bind

Art, auto-mechanics, and supramolecular chemistry. A merging of hobbies and career

  • Eric V. Anslyn

Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2016, 12, 362–376, doi:10.3762/bjoc.12.40

Graphical Abstract
  • challenging guests that we could envision for supramolecular chemistry to tackle are glycerides. Glycerides often differ only by numbers of methylene groups, positions of double bonds, and stereochemistry of the olefins. It seems impossibly difficult to create a synthetic receptor that could bind selectively
  • trielaidin over trielroselaidin (differing only by double bond position in each fatty acid chain, Figure 11) and a second synthetic receptor that did the opposite. Thus, if successful, the demonstration of a differential sensing approach that could classify glycerides, determine their structural features

Graphical Abstract
  • reason for the higher activity in this solvent. This work also presents a new implementation of the stochastic titration constant-pH molecular dynamics method to a synthetic receptor of sugars and attests its ability to describe the protonation/conformation coupling in these molecules. Keywords
  • : conformational analysis; constant-pH MD; mannose; multivalent glycosystems; pH; synthetic receptor; Introduction The recognition of specific carbohydrates is an important step in several biological processes [1]. To better understand these recognition processes, several synthetic receptors have been developed
  • the stochastic titration constant-pH molecular dynamics method to a synthetic receptor for sugars. This method was able to describe the protonation/conformation coupling by correctly sample the occupation of titrable residues at the desired pH value.
