Xenon biosensor amplification via dendrimer-cage supramolecular constructs.
Polyamidoamine dendrimers were synthesized with a single biotin moiety and used with cryptophane-A cages to form supramolecular biosensor constructs. These new biosensors amplified the NMR signals obtained from polarized xenon 8 times more than the original Xe biosensor.
