Supramolecular control of cell adhesion via ferrocene-cucurbit[7]uril host-guest binding on gold surfaces

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 May 7;49(35):3679-81. doi: 10.1039/c3cc37592g.

Abstract

Supramolecular control of adhesion of cells is demonstrated using synthetic integrin binding RGD peptide-ferrocene conjugates that were immobilized via host-guest chemistry onto cucurbit[7]uril coated gold surfaces.
