Supramolecular Control of Enzyme Activity through Cucurbit[8]uril‐Mediated Dimerization

Abstract

At the double: Cucurbit[8]uril-mediated protein dimerization enables reversible control over strong enzyme activation of caspases. Simple addition of a short N-terminal FGG motif allows for a supramolecular-mediated 50-fold enhancement of caspase-9 catalytic activity.
