A pH-Sensitive Peptide-Containing Lasso Molecular Switch

The synthesis of a peptide-containing lasso molecular switch by a self-entanglement strategy is described. The interlocked [1] rotaxane molecular machine consists of a benzometaphenylene[25]crown-8 (BMP25C8) macrocycle surrounding a molecular axle. This molecular axle contains a tripeptidic sequence...
