Explanation for the electrophoresis behaviour of DNA condensation induced by pseudopolyrotaxane of different lengths.
Electrophoresis 29(21):4391-8 (2008) PMID 19016566
We synthesized a series of pseudopolyrotaxanes (PPRs) by threading 6-[(6-aminohexyl)amino]-6-deoxy-beta-CD dichloride on the polypropylene glycol and investigated their DNA condensation efficiency by electrophoresis assay. The PPRs of the middle length exhibited the best DNA condensation efficiency... -
Supramolecular control of polyplex dissociation and cell transfection: Efficacy of amino groups and threading cyclodextrins in biocleavable ...
J Control Release 131(2):8 (2008) PMID 18700157
We prepared biocleavable polyrotaxanes with different numbers of threading alpha-CD and amino (DMAE) groups to enhance the transfection activity of DMAE-SS-PRXs. 29DMAE-alpha18-SS-PRX, in which the numbers of alpha-CD molecules and amino groups were 18 and 29 respectively, exhibited a high transfect... -
Computational models for the shuttling motion of the macrocycle in rotaxane-based molecular switches.
14(10):879-86 (2008) PMID 18604570
We have investigated a prototypical shaft including two octahedral ruthenium complexes linked by a conjugated C(14) carbon chain, where the shuttling motion can be triggered by changing the electronic environment of the active complexes with ligand exchange reactions. The computational results also... -
Electrical and mechanical switching in a realistic [2]rotaxane device model.

Rotaxane-type resorcinarene tetramers as histone-sensing fluorescent receptors.
Org Biomol Chem 6(17):3166-70 (2008) PMID 18698476
Rotaxane-type receptors, which were composed of anionic cyclophane-based resorcinarene tetramers as the wheel and a 2,6-disubstituted naphthalene derivative having two fluorophore moieties, such as fluorescein and rhodamine residues, as the axle ( and , respectively), were prepared. Rotaxane-type re... -
An AFM/rotaxane molecular reading head for sequence-dependent DNA structures.
Small 4(9):1468-75 (2008) PMID 18680093 PMCID 2597423
DNA secondary structure may prove to be a significant obstacle both for enzymes that process DNA through an orifice and for the passage of DNA through nanopores proposed for some novel sequencing schemes. A nanomechanical molecular "tape reader" is assembled by threading a nanopore over DNA and pull... -

Single- and double-stranded helical polymers: synthesis, structures, and functions.
Acc Chem Res 41(9):1166-80 (2008) PMID 18690750
We describe the recent advances in the synthesis, structures, and functions of single- and double-stranded helical polymers from our group and others and provide a brief historical overview of synthetic helical polymers. We found unique macromolecules that fold into a preferred-handed helix through... -
Cyclic [2]pseudorotaxane tetramers consisting of two rigid rods threaded through two bis-macrocycles: copper(I)-templated synthesis and X-ra...
J Am Chem Soc 130(33):11013-22 (2008) PMID 18652470
Variously substituted coordinating rigid rods have been synthesized which incorporate a central 4,7-phenanthroline nucleus attached to two 2-pyridyl groups via its 3 and 8 positions, so as to yield bis-bidentate chelates, the two-coordinating axes of the chelates being parallel to one another. Regar... -
