Thanks Steve!

Proline-based tripodal cages with guest-adaptive features for capturing hydrophilic and amphiphilic fluoride substances - Nature Communications Proteins dynamically adjust their conformations to interact with their ligands through binding sites that accommodate either amphiphilic or hydrophilic substrates, but most synthetic receptors are des...

Binding hydrophilic molecules is challenging due to high hydration energy. So why not bind them with their water? Our work (the Cai group at USF and us) shows a flexible proline cage capturing fluoride along with its hydration shell with strong affinity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
