Selective sulfate binding induces helical folding of an indolocarbazole oligomer in solution and solid state.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrogen bonding to anions drives the helical folding of an indolocarbazole oligomer, thus resulting in an internal cavity with six NHs and two OHs for binding sulfate with high selectivity.

Indolocarbazole-based anion receptors and molecular switches*
A number of indolocarbazole-based anion receptors were prepared and their anion-binding behaviors were characterized in solution and in the solid state. First, chainlength-dependent binding affinities of chloride ion were revealed using a series of indolo carbazoles that consisted of one to four indolocarbazole units. The binding affinities were steadily enhanced from monomer to dimer, then to ...
متن کاملConformational analysis of helical aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) oligomers bearing C-terminal ester Schellman motifs.
The effect of Schellman motifs on the adoption of stable 310 helical conformations in a series of aminoisobutyric (Aib) oligomers has been studied in the solid state and solution. The destabilising effect of the Schellman motif (a local inversion of helical screw-sense due to a C-terminal ester residue) was quantified in the solid state using X-ray crystallography through analysis of the torsio...
متن کاملExpanding the registry of aromatic amide foldamers: folding, photochemistry and assembly using diaza-anthracene units.
The synthesis of various 1,8-diaza-4,5-dialkoxy-2,7-anthracene dicarboxylic acid derivatives and their incorporation into cyclic and helically folded aromatic oligoamides are reported. The ability of the diaza-anthracene monomers to undergo photoaddition or head-to-tail photodimerization was investigated in the solid state and in solution. Quantitative conversion of a monomer diester to the cor...
متن کاملUnfolding and folding pathway of lysozyme induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate.
Proteins may exhibit an unfolding or folding state in the presence of a surfactant. In the present study, the unfolding and folding pathway of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is studied. The stoichiometry obtained from isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provides guidelines for other techniques. The fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism show that t...
متن کاملStructural transformation of cytochrome c and apo cytochrome c induced by sulfonated polystyrene.
The structural transformation of cytochrome c (cyt c) and its heme-free precursor, apo cyt c, induced by negatively charged sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) with different charge density (degree of sulfonation) and chain length was studied to understand the factors that influence the folding and unfolding of the protein. SPS forms stable transparent nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The hydrophobi...
