A collaborative team from the University of Galway, the Faculty of Chemistry (University of Warsaw), Synchrotron SOLEIL and Qilu University of Technology has published a paper in Journal of the American Chemical Society entitled “Protein Recognition and Assembly by a Phosphocavitand”. The work shows how a phosphate-containing macrocycle (phosphocavitand) selectively recognises protein N-termini and arginine residues and, together with Zn²⁺, organises proteins into well-defined framework-like assemblies.
