Photoresponsive Materials: Photoresponsive Cucurbit[8]uril‐Mediated Adhesion of Bacteria on Supported Lipid Bilayers (Small 46/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
Inspired by nature's ability to capture and release biological entities when required, P. Jonkheijm and co-workers have developed a microfluidic platform for the adhesion and light-triggered release of pathogenic E. coli. On page 6187, they achieve this using supported lipid bilayers bearing a ternary complex of methylviologen, a supramolecular host (cucurbit[8]uril), and a photo-active azobenzene glycoconjugate. The platform has the potential to be used for intricate fundamental studies dealing with the spatio-temporal characteristics of celladhesion and also the development of novel reusable biosensors.
