Controllable DNA condensation through cucurbit[6]uril in 2D pseudopolyrotaxanes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Aug 28:(32):3374-6. doi: 10.1039/b704279e.

Abstract

2D pseudopolyrotaxanes containing beta-cyclodextrins and cucurbit[6]urils can induce DNA condensation, and the number of cucurbit[6]urils threaded onto the side chains of beta-cyclodextrins plays important roles in this process.
