Ammonium ion recognition in Peptides: Receptors based on luminescent crown ether amino acids(Abstracts)

摘要

Crown ethers of suitable size can be used as artificial host compounds for ammonium ion binding, particularly the recognition of lysine residues in peptides or of physiologically active amines. Crown ether amino acids (CEAAs) with different luminescent moieties have been prepared. These units are designed in a building block system and can be oligomerized by standard peptide chemistry or coupled to other receptor systems.
