A synthetic host-guest system achieves avidin-biotin affinity by overcoming enthalpy-entropy compensation.

چکیده
The molecular host cucurbit[7]uril forms an extremely stable inclusion complex with the dicationic ferrocene derivative bis(trimethylammoniomethyl)ferrocene in aqueous solution. The equilibrium association constant for this host-guest pair is 3 x 10(15) M(-1) (K(d) = 3 x 10(-16) M), equivalent to that exhibited by the avidin-biotin pair. Although purely synthetic systems with larger association constants have been reported, the present one is unique because it does not rely on polyvalency. Instead, it achieves its extreme affinity by overcoming the compensatory enthalpy-entropy relationship usually observed in supramolecular complexes. Its disproportionately low entropic cost is traced to extensive host desolvation and to the rigidity of both the host and the guest.

Free energy, entropy, and induced fit in host-guest recognition: calculations with the second-generation mining minima algorithm.
This study applies a novel computational method to study molecular recognition for three sets of synthetic hosts: molecular clips, molecular tweezers, and a synthetic barbiturate receptor. The computed standard free energies of binding for the 12 binding reactions agree closely with experiment and provide insight into the roles of configurational entropy, preorganization, and induced fit in the...

A trivalent derivative of vancomycin, tris(vancomycin carboxamide), [C6H3-1,3,5-(CONHC6H4-4CH2NHCOV)3 (RtV3; V ) vancomycin)], binds an analogous trivalent derivative of D-Ala-D-Ala, R′tL′3, (C6H31,3,5-[CON H(N-Ac)-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala]3) in water with a dissociation constant that is approximately 4 × 10-17 M, as estimated by HPLC using a competitive assay against NR, -diacetyl-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala (...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Host–Guest Interactions between Fullerenes and a Buckycatcher
(1)H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments were employed to obtain reliable thermodynamic data for the formation of the 1:1 inclusion complexes of fullerenes C(60) and C(70) with the buckycatcher (C(60)H(28)). NMR measurements were done in toluene-d8 and chlorobenzene-d5 at 288, 298, and 308 K, while the ITC titrations were performed in toluene, chlorobenzene, o-dichloroben...

The effect of three organic aromatic salts - Phenyltrimethylammonium (PhTMAB), benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTMAB) and benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTEAB) bromides - on the micellization of sodium dodecylsulfate has been investigated by conductometric method. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values were found to decrease with increase in the concentration of the aromatic ammonium salts. Therm...
متن کاملIsothermal Microcalorimetry to Investigate Non Specific Interactions in Biophysical Chemistry
Isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) is mostly used to investigate the thermodynamics of "specific" host-guest interactions in biology as well as in supramolecular chemistry. The aim of this review is to demonstrate that ITC can also provide useful information about non-specific interactions, like electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions. More attention will be given in the use of ITC t...
