Supramolecular dimerisation of middle-chain Phe pentapeptides via CB[8] host-guest homoternary complex formation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 9;49(78):8779-81. doi: 10.1039/c3cc45420g.

Abstract

Pentapeptides containing a Phe residue in the middle of the sequence exhibit ternary complex formation in the presence of cucurbit[8]uril, thus opening new perspectives on supramolecular peptide dimerisation studies.
