Non-covalent molecular interactions are crucial for the formation of supramolecular systems
whose applications in the transport and release of drugs, the development of nanoreactors …

Cucurbituril-type hosts are highly symmetric, but there are means to break their symmetry.
This review will present examples from three directions of induction of chirality in or by …

We investigate host–guest complexation between cucurbit [7] uril and the α-and β-anomers
of glucosamine, in its neutral (GN), protonated (GP), and acetylated (GA) forms. Molecular …

The inclusion complexes of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) with p-sulfonato-calix [4]
arene (SCX4) and p-sulfanatothiacalix [4] arene (TSCX4) macrocycles are characterized …

Practical applications of innovative host–guest systems are challenging because of
unexpected guest competitors and/or subtle environmental differences. Herein, a …

Chiral and molecular recognition between amino acid and sugar molecules and their
implications for chemical evolution were investigated using a tandem mass spectrometer …

Recently, we have investigated the cucurbit [7] uril (CB7) recognition of the α-and β-anomers
of neutral, protonated, and acetylated forms of glucosamine in water. In the present work, we …

Chiral recognition between tryptophan (Trp) and carbohydrates such as d-glucose (d-Glc),
methyl-α-d-glucoside (d-glucoside), d-maltose, and d-cellobiose in cold gas-phase cluster …

Herein we report multiple ion mobility (IM) peaks in electrospray ionization IM mass
spectrometry (ESI-IM-MS) produced by glutamine residue in peptide. The mobility features of …

The discrimination of d-galactosamine (G), representative of the amino-sugar class of
compounds, has been probed through nano-ESI-FT-ICR mass spectrometry by isolating the …
