Currently the supramolecular assembly of designed compounds can be controlled to great extent. This provides the opportunity to combine synthetic supramolecular materials with biomolecules to modulate biological phenomena.[1] This lecture will focus on two of such concepts. Synthetic host-guest systems are applied for the controlled and reversible dimerization and immobilization of proteins. Host-guest elements are for example appended to proteins to induce or stabilize weak protein heterodimerization.[2] Other supramolecular host molecules are used to recognize specific protein elements and applied as supramolecular inducers of protein homodimerization.[3] In this way, we have generated a so-called supramolecular inducer of dimerization that can act as an allosteric modulator of protein dimerization and allows highly efficient and reversible activation of for example enzyme activity. Self-assembling supramolecular architectures provide attractive scaffolds for the organized display of biological ligands. Their dynamic nature allows for simple non-covalent synthesis of multivalent structures and for the introduction of multiple different functionalities. As an example, columnar[4] and spherical[5] supramolecular nanoparticles can be decorated with biological ligands such as sugars and peptides for the assembly of proteins along the supramolecular framework or for the recognition and entry of cells.
