摘要
A new tris-cation 1 binds N-acetyl amino acid carboxylates in water even at millimolar salt concentrations with Kass ≈ 103 M-1 due to a clustering of electrostatic interactions. Binding is efficient enough to allow a naked-eyed detection using an indicator displacement assay. Furthermore, receptor 1 shows an unexpected 2:1 complex formation with strong positive cooperativity with glutamate but not aspartate. Copyright © 2005 American Chemical Society.
