Protein AND Enzyme Gated Supramolecular Disassembly
摘要:
An amphiphilic nanoassembly was designed to respond to the concurrent presence of a protein and an enzyme. We present herein a system, where in the presence of these two stimuli supramolecular disassembly and molecular release occur. This molecular release arises in the form a fluorescence response that has been shown to be specific. We also show that this system can be modified to respond only if light stimulus is also present in addition to the protein and the enzyme. Demonstration of such supramolecular disassembly principles could have broad implications in a variety of biological applications.

We demonstrate a new enzyme-induced disassembly of amphiphilicnanocontainers based on dendrimers. Disassembly and the ensuing release of noncovalently bound guest molecules are of great interest because of their implications in areas such as drug delivery and sensing. Achieving these with a protein as the stimulus is of even greater importance, because proteins are the primary indicators of biological

interactions were found to greatly influence the temperature-dependent dynamic behavior within supramolecularassemblies. Using an amphiphilic dendron, we systematically changed the hydrophobic groups introducing increasing levels of aromaticity while keeping the hydrophilic part constant. We show that the supramolecularassemblies become less sensitive to temperature changes when aromatic interactions in
Supramoleculardisassembly: Phototriggered release of noncovalently sequestered lipophilic guest molecules from dendritic supramolecularassemblies has been demonstrated. Facially amphiphilic dendrimers have been shown to provide a unique opportunity to fine‐tune the release kinetics of the guest molecules in response to light (see picture).

on micellar aggregates and the consequential guest release. The release of the guest molecule is conveniently tuned by stabilizing the micellar aggregates throughphotochemicalcrosslinking of hydrophobic coumarin units. This photo‐crosslinking is also utilized as a tool to investigate the mode of enzyme–substrate interaction in the context of aggregate–monomer equilibrium.
