Abstract
The aromatic or aliphatic residue of native L-alpha-aminoacids is selective ly included into the hydrophobic cavity of water soluble calix[4]arene rece ptors. The association constants values are determined by H-1 NMR titration experiments and the binding process is further elucidated by preliminary M olecular Mechanics calculations, which give results fully consistent with t he NMR data.
