• Color change signalsassembly
• Sensitive at lowconcentrations (nM); observefree monomer
• Excellent time resolution• Study behavior at dilute
concentrations where theassembly process is “slow”
FRET offers:
Sulfonyl ureas (1D) and aryl ureas(2A) form exclusive heterodimericpairs in solution.
Polycaps: Polymeric Capsules
• Control of chemical andstereochemical preferences
• Strong association (KA 106–108 M-1)• Rapid dissociation/equilibrium• Functional: Responsive to external
signals (guest, solvent, temperature)• Modular construction leads to
structural variety
