A hyaluronidase/temperature dual-responsive supramolecular assembly based on the anionic recognition of calixpyridinium†
Abstract
We have successfully constructed a supramolecular assembly based on the anionic recognition of calixpyridinium for the first time employing native biocompatible polysaccharide hyaluronan as the guest, which showed hyaluronidase-responsive disassembly and temperature-responsive morphological conversion from a nanosphere to a nanosquare upon increasing the temperature.
