Popis: A chiral water-soluble zinc porphyrin was optically resolved on a chiral HPLC column, and the binding of chiral amino acids and peptides to each of the enantiomers was examined spectrophotometrically in basic aqueous solution. The binding data apparently indicated that the zinc porphyrin has chiral selectivity for amino acids and dipeptides. This was reasonably explained in terms of the triple cooperation of coordination, Coulomb, and steric interactions of the chiral amino carboxylates with the porphyrin. A compensatory relationship among the thermodynamic parameters for chiral recognition was also shown.
