Calixarenes: from biomimetic receptors to multivalent ligands for biomolecular recognition
Abstract
Calixarenes are versatile platforms for the design and synthesis of molecular receptors and multivalent ligands that are able to mimic or affect specific biological functions. This review illustrates examples spanning the recognition of small peptides and carbohydrates to ion transport through membranes, biomimetic catalysis, DNA condensation and cell transfection, protein binding, sensing and inhibition, and gives perspectives for using calixarene macrocycles in bio-supramolecular chemistry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
