M. Sirish et Hj. Schneider, Supramolecular chemistry, part 86 - Porphyrin derivatives as water-solublereceptors for peptides, CHEM COMMUN, (10), 1999, pp. 907-908
The porphyrin-crown ether derivatives described here exhibit affinities to
unprotected peptides of hitherto unknown magnitude in aqueous solution; the
optical signal built-in to porphyrin receptors makes these applicable also
to sensor techniques; the results can also form the basis of new catalytic
systems, e.g. for the catalytic oxidation of peptides (such as tyrosinase
models).
