Examples include the development of a CD method to identify supramolecules in action (and to determine Hill coefficients for exergonic self-assembly), or CD methods to measure osmotic pressure and the activity of ion channels and pores. For the latter two applications, G-quartets are introduced as versatile functional CD probes in chirogenic vesicles. }, number={6}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Hennig, Andreas and Bhosale, Sheshanath and Sakai, Naomi and Matile, Stefan}, year={2008}, month={Jun.}, pages={493} }
