Abstract

Cucurbit[8]uril is a supramolecular inducer of protein heterodimerization for proteins appended with methylviologen and naphthalene host elements. Two sets of fluorescent protein pairs, which visualize the specific protein assembly process, enabled the interplay of the supramolecular elements with the proteins to be established.
