Supramolecular Assemblies of Multi-Charged Cyclodextrins

Solid-state supramolecular assemblies consisting of planar charged species.

Pyrrole-based π-conjugated anion-responsive molecules provided various planar anionic structures by complexation with halide anions, resulting in the formation of solid-state assemblies with planar counter cations and exhibiting various modes of charge-by-charge assembly depending on the substituents of the anion receptors.

Supramolecular Assemblies with Dna*

Information storage in chemical and biological systems involves recognition processes occurring at the molecular and macromolecular level. The implementation of a “code” can consist of multiple noncovalent interactions, which include hydrogen bonds, π-stacking, hydrophobic interactions, and appropriate molecular and supramolecular architectures. With the double-helical DNA structure stabilized ...

Designing supramolecular protein assemblies.

Many natural proteins self-assemble, either to fulfill their biological function or as part of a pathogenic process. Biological assembly phenomena such as amyloidogenesis, domain swapping and symmetric oligomerization are inspiring new strategies for designing proteins that self-assemble to form supramolecular complexes. Recent advances include the design of novel proteins that assemble into fi...

Natural supramolecular protein assemblies.

Supramolecular protein assemblies are an emerging area within the chemical sciences, which combine the topological structures of the field of supramolecular chemistry and the state-of-the-art chemical biology approaches to unravel the formation and function of protein assemblies. Recent chemical and biological studies on natural multimeric protein structures, including fibers, rings, tubes, cat...
