MOLECULAR MODELING: PREDICTION OF THE STRUCTURE OF HOST-GUEST COMPLEXES
The molecular recognition features of urea derivatives, (+)-biotin methyl ester (1), 2-imidazolidone (2), N,N’- trimethylenurea (3) and barbital (4), with synthetic receptors containing 2,6-bisamidopyridine (5-6) or 2,5- bisamidopyrrole (7-8) bearing pyridyl or 1,8-naphthyridyl groups, have been studied by Monte Carlo conformational search with the AMBER force field. The most probable conformation and the associated energy
- f the complexes have been obtained. The main driving forces for complexation between the host and the
