RT Journal Article T1 Self-assembling molecular capsules based on alpha, gamma-Cyclic peptides A1 Ozores, Lionel Haxel A1 Amorín López, Manuel A1 Granja Guillán, Juan Ramón K1 Self-assembling K1 Cyclic peptide K1 Supramolecular chemistry AB A new capsule based on a β-sheet self-assembling cyclic peptide with the ability to recognize and release several guests is described. The host structure is composed of two self-complementary α,γ-cyclic peptides bearing a Zn porphyrin cap that is used for the selective recognition of the guest. The two components are linked through two dynamic covalent bonds. The combination of binding forces, including hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, and dynamic hydrazone bonds, allows the reversible recognition of long bipyridine guests. The affinity for these ligands showed a strong dependence on the guest length. Delivery of the encapsulated ligand can be achieved by hydrolysis of hydrazones to disrupt the sandwich complex structure PB American Chemical Society SN 0002-7863 YR 2016 FD 2016-12-20 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17002 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17002 LA eng NO Ozores, L.H., Amorín, M., & Granja, J.
