Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD) has a hydrophobic cavity which acts like a binding site of an actual enzyme. But enzymatic turnover reaction did not occur in CD-catalyzed reactions. β-CD was modified by a histamine group to attach a reactive functional group. β-CD-histamine accelerates the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate. Catalytic rate constant of this reaction is close to an actual enzyme, α-chymotrypsin. Enzymatic turnover reaction is realized with this compound at around neutral pH value.
