title: Selective disaccharide binding by a macrotetracyclic receptor.
abstract: A new carbohydrate receptor possesses a C3-symmetric polar cavity capable of encapsulating disaccharides; binding to beta-maltosyl is preferred, complementing previous systems which have favoured "all-equatorial" substrates.
