Salt-induced guest relocation from a macrocyclic cavity into a biomolecular pocket: interplay between cucurbit[7]uril and albumin.

The binding affinity of Neutral Red with cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) can be fine-tuned by addition and competitive binding of metal ions, which leads also to a pK(a) shift of the dye; this can be exploited to relocate the dye from the macrocyclic cavity of CB7 to the biomolecular pocket of bovine serum albumin.
