Ultrastable Artificial Binding Pairs as a Supramolecular Latching System: A Next Generation Chemical Tool for Proteomics.
Kyeng Min ParkJames MurrayKimoon KimPublished in: Accounts of chemical research (2018)
In this Commentary, we discuss cucurbit[7]uril-based ultrastable artificial binding pairs as a supramolecular latching system and how we envision this becoming important tools in proteomics. The limitations of current proteomic techniques are described with an emphasis on the lack of tools to answer questions about the complex and dynamic nature of the proteome. Our thoughts as to how artificial ultrastable binding pairs may be able to address these questions are given especially when they are combined with existing methods.
