Hj. Vandebovenkamp et al., OPTICAL-DETECTION OF COMPLEXATION OF LABELED SACCHARIDES TO MACROCYCLIC SYNTHETIC RECEPTORS, Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 29(1-3), 1995, pp. 312-317
The interaction of optically labeled saccharides with resorcin[4]arene
s as synthetic saccharide receptors has been investigated by determina
tion of the partition of the saccharides over an aqueous and 1-octanol
phase in the absence and presence of the synthetic receptor. It is sh
own that the complexation of merocyanine labeled glucose, galactose an
d ribose with the resorcin[4]arenes can be optically detected and that
the chosen receptors have a modest selectivity towards the labeled gl
ucose.
