Cyclodextrin Chemistry

Chemistry was at one time completely described in terms of collision theo­ ry, in which one molecule collided with another, sometimes producing reac­ tion. Then came the realization that enzymes which are highly efficient ca­ talysts, work by way of prior complexation, often stereospecific, which is then followed by chemical reaction. Thus, systems that exhibit "host-guest" relationships, i.e., th...
