چکیده
A crystal structure of lysozyme in complex with p-sulfonato-calix[4]arene (sclx4) reveals a linear assembly of protein tetramers glued together by protein-calixarene interactions. One interaction involves encapsulation of the highly exposed C-terminal Arg128. The other involves an intricate protein-bound complex of sclx4, Mg(2+) and a fragment of polyethylene glycol.

Supramolecular polymeric vesicles formed by p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and chitosan with multistimuli responses.
Supramolecular polymeric vesicles are constructed by the complexation of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and chitosan, where the multivalent electrostatic interactions between the anionic sulfonate tetramer and cationic polyammoniums served as the dominant driving force. The supra-amphiphilic assemblies are disassembled upon exposure to a pH stimulus since the partial deprotonation of chitosan accompa...

متن کاملA photochromic supramolecular polymer based on bis-p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene recognition in aqueous solution.
A photochromic supramolecular polymer based on bis-p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene recognition with a dithienylethene derivative in aqueous solution was fabricated. The resultant polymer showed good photochromic behaviour with obvious colour switching and a morphology change under alternative UV/Vis light stimuli.
