RT Journal Article T1 Anion recognition and induced self-assembly of an alpha,gamma-cyclic peptide to form spherical clusters A1 Rodríguez-Vázquez, Nuria A1 Amorín López, Manuel A1 Granja Guillán, Juan Ramón A1 Alfonso, Ignacio K1 Anionrecognition K1 Cyclic peptide K1 Self-assembling K1 Supramolecular chemistry K1 Transport AB A cyclic octapeptide composed of hydroxy-functionalized γ-amino acids folds in a "V-shaped" conformation that allows the selective recognition of anions such as chloride, nitrate, and carbonate. The process involves the simultaneous self-assembly of six peptide subunits and the recognition of four anions to form a tetrahedral structure, in which the anions are located at the corners of the resulting structure. Each anion is coordinated to three different peptides. The structure was fully characterized by several techniques, including NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and the material was able to facilitate the transmembrane transport of chloride ions PB Wiley SN 1433-7851 YR 2016 FD 2016-03-21 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16736 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16736 LA eng NO Rodríguez-Vázquez, N., García-Fandiño, R., Amorín, M., & Granja, J.
