Self-folding cavitands: structural characterization of the induced-fit model.
Deletion of structural elements in cavitand receptors is used to evaluate the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of binding in these hosts. The use of a bulky guest showcases the importance of host-guest shape adaptations in the molecular recognition process.
