Towards the sequence-specific multivalent molecular recognition of cyclodextrin oligomers

Sequence-specific multivalent molecular recognition has been recognized to play a major role in biological processes. Furthermore, sequence-specific recognition motifs have been used in various artificial systems in the last years, e.g., to emulate biological processes or to build up new materials with highly specific recognition domains. In this article, we present the preparation of cyclodext...

Dynamic multivalent recognition of cyclodextrin vesicles.

Cyclodextrin bilayer vesicles have dynamic membranes that recognize guest molecules through efficient multivalent host-guest interaction reminiscent of multivalent binding of a ligand with receptors in a biological membrane.

A MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA

A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...
