Probing supramolecular protein assembly using covalently attached fluorescent molecular rotors by Kubánková, M, López-Duarte, I, Bull, J, Vadukul, D, Serpell, L, de Saint Victor, M, Stride, E, Kuimova, M

“…We demonstrate that upon covalent attachment the molecular rotors can successfully probe supramolecular assembly in vitro. Importantly, our new strategy has wider applications in cellulo and in vivo, since covalently attached molecular rotors can be successfully delivered in situ and will colocalise with the aggregating protein, for example inside live cells. …”

Functionalization of Polyethyleneimine with Hollow Cyclotriveratrylene and Its Subsequent Supramolecular Interaction with Doxorubicin by Carmine Coluccini, Yoke Mooi Ng, Yves Ira A. Reyes, Hsin-Yi Tiffany Chen, Yit Lung Khung

“…Density functional theory calculations had also confirmed that in the most stable coordination of Doxorubicin with the cross-linked polymer, the aromatic rings of the Doxorubicin were localized toward the Cyclotriveratrylene core, while its aliphatic chains aligned closer with amino groups, thus forming a compact supramolecular assembly that may confer a shielding effect on Doxorubicin. …”

Supramolecular Hybrids from Cyanometallate Complexes and Diblock Copolypeptide Amphiphiles in Water by Takayuki Tanaka, Keita Kuroiwa

“…However, the results of this work demonstrate that the addition of diblock copolypeptide amphiphiles such as poly-(L-lysine)-<i>block</i>-(L-cysteine) (Lys_m-<i>b</i>-Cys_n) to solutions of these complexes induces the supramolecular assembly of the discrete cyanometallates, resulting in photoluminescence originating from multinuclear complexes with metal-metal interactions. …”
