A Supramolecular Enzyme Mimic That Catalyzes the 15,15' Double Bond Scission of beta,beta-Carotene This research was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, Novartis International AG, and F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG. We are grateful to F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG for the generous gift of carotenoids, and we also thank Prof. Dr. Jakob Wirz, Insitut für Physikalische Chemie der Universität Basel, for the calculation of the binding constant K(a) of 1 to the receptor 3.
