Host-guest interactions and controllable capture and release of proteins based on cationic perylene bisimides.

Abstract

A system of controllable capture and release of protein was constructed by multiple, interconnected supramolecular binding modules based on lactose modified mono-cationic perylene bisimide derivatives, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), 1-adamantanamine (ADA) and peanut agglutinin (PNA) lectins.
