Unveiling the nature of interactions in the supramolecular complex of Cucurbit [7-8] uril with ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid for biosensing applications: a computational study

Supramolecular complexation of phenylephrine by cucurbit[7]uril in aqueous solution

“…26 The supramolecular complexation of catecholamines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine with different macrocyclic hosts has been subject for several studies. 27–29 The encapsulation of a guest molecule ( e.g. , a dye) inside the hydrophobic cavity alerts its photophysical properties, including the absorption and fluorescence emission.…”

“…26 The supramolecular complexation of catecholamines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine with different macrocyclic hosts has been subject for several studies. [27][28][29] The encapsulation of a guest molecule (e.g., a dye) inside the hydrophobic cavity alerts its photophysical properties, including the absorption and uorescence emission. [30][31][32] This has extensively been applied to probe the host-guest complexation and allowed for the determination of the binding affinity of optically transparent guest molecules.…”
