Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis including NMR and MS, with special assistance of spin system simulation studies for the

Some papers already reported simulation studies of CD aggregates, or better dimers, in water in the presence of hydrophobic or at least amphiphilic moieties, such as ionic [31] and non-ionic [32][33][34] surfactants assuming a

On the other hand, a ROESY spectrum with no spin diffusion can only compliment an averaged ensemble conformation obtained by molecular dynamics which is generally considered ambiguous.

• clear. Thus, two geometries for the β-CD-xylazine complex can be assumed (Figure 5). We established the structure of the complex using this ROESY data and molecular dynamics simulation studies in vacuum. Earlier, we established the structure of a fexofenadine-α-CD complex [20] on the basis of molecular
