Structure–Binding Effects: Comparative Binding of 2-Anilino-6-naphthalenesulfonate by a Series of Alkyl- and Hydroxyalkyl-Substituted β-Cyclodextrins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are the most widely used organic hosts for the inclusion of guest molecules. CDs can be readily modified through substitutions of the hydroxyl groups, and these modified CDs can have different host binding properties compared to those of parent CDs. However, only relatively few systematic studies of the effects of chemical substitution on CD binding ability have been reported thus far. In this paper, we report the study of the binding properties of five different analytically pure modified β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) hosts (substituted with alkyl and/or hydroxyalkyl groups) with 2-anilino-6-naphthalenesulfonate (2,6-ANS) as guest. Binding constants for the formation of the inclusion complex between 2,6-ANS and each CD were determined using both fluorescence spectroscopy and capillary electrophoresis. Addition of modified CDs to an aqueous solution of 2,6-ANS resulted in significant enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of 2,6-ANS, as well as a significant spectral blue shift, indicative of inclusion. Inclusion of 2,6-ANS within the CD cavity was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Substitution at position 3 decreased the magnitude of the binding constants, while alkyl or hydroxylalkyl substitution of the primary hydroxyl at position 6 increased the magnitude of the binding constant in all cases, in relation with increasing length of the alkyl chain linker. In addition, binding constants decreased with solvent polarity when increasing amounts of methanol were added. Structure-binding correlations for CDs based on these binding constant results are presented and discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
