title: Chiral recognition at self-assembled multivalent (SAMul) nanoscale interfaces - enantioselectivity in polyanion binding.
abstract: Self-assembled multivalent (SAMul) ligands based on palmitic acid functionalised with cationic l/d-lysine bind polyanionic heparin or DNA with no chiral preference. Inserting a glycine spacer unit switches on chiral discrimination - a rare example of controlled chiral recognition at a SAMul nanoscale interface.
