Dynamic and Assembly Characteristics of a Deep‐Cavity Basket

30 Oct 2023

Our latest paper, in collaboration with the Bajdic group, reports the characterisation of a supramolecular host with a deep cavity interacting with the drug mitoxanthrone, using a combination of NMR lineshape analysis and CEST to understand the internal dynamics, and the competition between self-recognition (dimerisation) and guest binding.
