Funded Activity Summary
Novel Synthetic Receptors for Recognition and Transport of Biologically Important Anions. Anion receptors are not currently tailored for the ‘real world’ biological environments (for example, physiological saline and membranes) in which anions perform their many critical roles. The project will design and synthesise a range of molecular receptors based on large, rigid, precisely functionalisable scaffolds, tailored specifically to complement both the shape, size and charge of target anions as well as their native environment. The project will investigate the ability of these receptors to strongly bind their target anions with high selectivity in both aqueous systems and in membrane environments. This will lead to the development of innovative synthetic receptors that recognise and/or transport biological anions for use in biomedical applications.Funded Activity Details
