Abstract
Biological and synthetic receptors for three different types of pest s pecies have been compared: valinomycin and calix[4]crown ethers for K, urease and metallomacrocycles for urea, and phosphate binding protei ns and synthetic anion receptors for different anions. The symbiosis o f synthetic and biological receptors is demonstrated for transesterifi cation reactions of amino acid esters by alpha-chymotrypsin in organic solvents in the presence of crown ethers.
