Citric acid encapsulation by a double helical foldamer in competitive solvents. Issue 20 (15th February 2016) - Chandramouli, Nagula
Abstract : Self-assembly combined with folding generate cavities for large polar guests. Abstract : A new double helical aromatic oligoamide capsule able to bind to citric acid in polar and protic solvents was prepared. Aromatic amino acids in the sequence encode both structural (strand curvature and double helix formation) and functional features (recognition pattern) of the assembled capsule.
