Mj. Deetz et Bd. Smith, HETERODITOPIC RUTHENIUM(II) BIPYRIDYL RECEPTOR WITH ADJACENT SACCHARIDE AND PHOSPHATE-BINDING SITES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(38), 1998, pp. 6841-6844
A luminescent ruthenium(II) bipyridyl receptor with pendant boronic ac
ids is synthesized and shown to bind phosphorylated sugars in water. T
he association constant for fructose-6-phosphate is log K-a = 3.1 M-1
at 298 degrees K. The receptor simultaneously binds saccharide/phospha
te with positive cooperativity. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rig
