The development of methodology for attaching ligand binding sites to proteins of interest has accelerated biomedical science. Such protein tags have widespread applications as well as properties that significantly limit their utility. This review describes the mechanisms and applications of supramolecular systems comprising the synthetic receptors cucurbit[7]uril (Q7) or cucurbit[8]uril (Q8) and their polypeptide ligands. Molecular recognition of peptides and proteins occurs at sites of 1–3 amino acids with high selectivity and affinity via several distinct mechanisms, which are supported by extensive thermodynamic and structural studies in aqueous media. The commercial availability, low cost, high stability, and biocompatibility of these synthetic receptors has led to the development of myriad applications. This comprehensive review compiles the molecular recognition studies and the resulting applications with the goals of providing a valuable resource to the community and inspiring the next generation of innovation.
