Abstract

Abstract The ammonium ion binding site of the enzyme glutaminase HisF inspired us to design guanidinium biscarboxylates as potential self-organized ionophores in molecular recognition. The syntheses of the title compounds based on aliphatic and aromatic building blocks, along with a general method for the preparation of δ-aminoethoxyacetic acids, are presented in this work. Investigation of the binding properties of the title compounds in ...
