Chiral recognition of L-tryptophan with beta-cyclodextrin-modified biomimetic single nanochannel

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 21;51(15):3135-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09577d.

Abstract

A stable system of enantioselectively recognising L-tryptophan based on β-cyclodextrin-modified single nanochannel fabricated in a polyimide membrane was demonstrated, and we realized the chiral recognition of an essential amino acid with this system for the first time.
