Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Most of the biomolecules can be regarded as an ionic polymer. Biological events are strongly related to the recognition of those polymers by biomacromolecules. In this research, we synthesized bio-inspired peptidic macrocycles and succeeded in recognizing polymeric phosphate anion though nanotubular self-assembly. We also clarified that the polymeric phosphate anion binds to the inner cavity of the nanotube. During the investigation, we also found a preferential assembly of the same enantiomers of the peptidic macrocycles which is rarely observed in supramolecular system.
