Abstract

(matrix presented) Receptors based on a tetraphenylporphyrin scaffold bearing different charged and hydrophobic groups have been synthesized. The interactions of these with horse heart cytochrome c were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Receptor 4 was identified to be the strongest synthetic receptor (Kd = 20 nM) for cytochrome c. The differences in affinity among the receptors reflected a dependence on the number of anionic and hydrophobic groups.
