Abstract: | We report on the oligosaccharide recognition through noncovalent interactions in water based on a unique supramolecular homoduplex-to-heteroduplex transformation of the oligoresorcinol nonamer as a fully artificial receptor. The oligoresorcinol forms a double helix in water, which unravels and entwines upon complexation with specific oligosaccharides with a particular chain length and glucosidic linkage pattern, thus generating the heteroduplex with an excess one-handed helical conformation that can be readily monitored and further quantified by absorption, circular dichroism, and NMR spectroscopies. |
