A highly preorganized, artificial receptor for guanidinium cations binds arginine with high affinity in polar solvents, even in water! The X-ray crystal structure of its bis(N-ethylguanidinium) complex shows the formation of hydrogen bonds between the receptor and the guest (see picture). This observation explains the strength of the complex formed with the dipeptide diarginine (K(d)=50 µM in H(2)O).
一种高度预组织的胍盐阳离子人工受体在极性溶剂中,甚至在水中都能以高亲和力结合精氨酸!其二(N-乙基胍盐)配合物的X射线晶体结构表明受体与客体之间形成了氢键(见图)。这一观察结果解释了与二肽双精氨酸形成的配合物的强度(在H₂O中K(d)=50 µM)。
