The supramolecular assembly between chlorhexidine and cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, betaCD) was characterized using NMR spectroscopy ((1)H, T(1), and ROESY), ESIMS and ITC. NMR data suggest the formation of high ordered complexes. ESIMS and ITC allowed the confirmation of the average stoichiometry as 1:4 and the thermodynamic data, also obtained by ITC, showed that the assembly is strongly stabilized by short distance interactions, but suffers a strong, opposite effect of entropy reduction. The antimicrobial activity of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 Clx/betaCD molar ratio mixtures was investigated in aqueous solution and after incorporation into mucoadhesive gels. These were used to determine the initial and the long-term antimicrobial activity, respectively, toward Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) (Y4-FDC) and Enterococcus faecalis (E.f.) (ATCC 14508) strains. The results showed that A.a. and E.f. were more susceptible to the 1:4 molar ratio mixture in either solution or gel (p<0.05).

In recent years, binding studies to determine complex stabilities and selectivities of artificial carbohydrate receptors with glycosides have been mainly performed using H NMR, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and other spectroscopic titration techniques. Native electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry is used only to verify the complex stoichiometries, although determination of dissociation constants is also possible. Herein, the binding of a 1,3,5-substituted 2,4,6-triethylbenzene-based receptor (CHR) to four alkyl-β-d-glucosides with varying alkyl side chain lengths (methyl (MGP), hexyl (HGP), octyl (OGP), and dodecyl (DGP)-β-d-glucosides), which was analyzed by ESI Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FT-ICR-MS) under optimized spray conditions in both ion modes, is reported.

We describe the preparation, assembly, recognition characteristics, and bioactivity of dendritic basket 6. This novel cavitand has a deep aromatic pocket with three (S)-glutamic acid dendrons at the rim to amplify water solubility and prevent self-association. H NMR spectroscopy, calorimetry (ITC), and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements validate the formation of an inclusion complex between 6 and anticancer drug methotrexate (MTX) in water (K=9.

Molecular self- and co-assembly allow the formation of diverse and well-defined supramolecular structures with notable physical properties. Among the associating molecules, amino acids are especially attractive due to their inherent biocompatibility and simplicity. The biologically active enantiomer of l-histidine (l-His) plays structural and functional roles in proteins but does not self-assemble to form discrete nanostructures.

It is of great significance to sensitively and selectively detect uranyl ion (UO) in environmental and biological samples due to the high risks of UO to human health. However, such suitable sensors are still scarce. A novel fluorescence sensor based on a dansyl-modified peptide, Dansyl-Glu-Glu-Pro-Glu-Trp-COOH (D-P5), was efficiently synthesized by Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis.

S100A1 is a member of the S100 family of small ubiquitous Ca-binding proteins, which participates in the regulation of cell differentiation, motility, and survival. It exists as homo- or heterodimers. S100A1 has also been shown to bind Zn, but the molecular mechanisms of this binding are not yet known.
