Self-folding cavitands: structural characterization of the induced-fit model

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Mar 14;46(10):1637-9. doi: 10.1039/b927031k. Epub 2010 Feb 5.

Abstract

Deletion of structural elements in cavitand receptors is used to evaluate the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of binding in these hosts. The use of a bulky guest showcases the importance of host-guest shape adaptations in the molecular recognition process.
