Abstract:
An artificial peptide receptor was prepared by a simple procedure. Initial binding studies (UV titrations) in buffered water showed preferential complexation of N-acetyl-dipeptide carboxylates containing alanine in the C-terminal position in comparison with simple amino acids, other dipeptides and two tripeptides.
