In the case of dynamic quenching, the systems were analyzed by Stern–Volmer plots (KSV, M–1). Quantitative analysis of the relaxation/diffusion-edited NMR experiments for the combination of the three cages (CyHis, CyLys, and CyAsp) with some of the three types of PPs (polyE4Y, polyK4Y, and polyE6K3Y), % values calculated for the aromatic proton resonances of the pseudopeptidic cages.

c

Estimated lower limit assuming Kd > 1/KSV.

d

The fluorescence titration experiments did not reliably fit any reasonable simple model.
