Molecular recognition thermodynamics of bile salts by beta-cyclodextrin dimers: Factors governing the cooperative binding of cyclodextrin dimers.
The complex stability constants (K(S)), standard molar enthalpy (DeltaH degrees), and entropy changes (DeltaS degrees) for the inclusion complexation of two families of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) dimers, i.e. beta-CD dimers Se1-Se4 bearing 2,2'-diselenobis(benzoyl) tether (Se-dimers) and beta-CD dimers Py1-Py4 bearing 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxy tether (Py-dimers), with four bile salt guests, i.e. sodium cholate (CA), sodium deoxycholate (DCA), sodium glycocholate (GCA), and sodium taurocholate (TCA), were determined at 25 degrees C in Tris buffer solution (pH 7.4) at 298.15 K by means of isothermal titration microcalorimetry. The thermodynamic parameters obtained, together with the ROESY spectra of interactions between beta-CD dimers and bile salts, consistently suggest that the length, flexibility, and structure of spacers linking the two beta-CD cavities not only determine the binding modes but also significantly alter the molecular selectivity of beta-CD dimers.
