Fig. 6. Examples of hydrogen bonds (a–c) and C–H⋯π interactions (d) in the complexes formed by carbohydrate-binding proteins (left) and by the artificial receptor (right) described in this work (complexes 2·MeαGlc-I and 2·MeαGlc-II). In the case of the protein–carbohydrate complexes, the binding motifs observed in the complexes of d-galactose-binding protein with d-glucose (a, c)^10e and α-glucose-binding protein with α-d-glucose (b, d)^10h are illustrated.
