Hydrophobic and hydrophilic yoctowells as receptors in water
Abstract
Hydrophilic yoctowells (volume = 10-24 L) with OEG walls are introduced, which entrap tobramycin, a tetraamino trisaccharide, in water with a binding constant of 107 M-1 but do not interact with cellobiose. This is in contrast to corresponding hydrophobic yoctowells, which kinetically immobilize cellobiose in water, but do not entrap tobramycin.
