Feeling groovy : A large dimeric calix[4]arene hexaaniline binds selectively to double‐stranded DNA and especially RNA with submicromolar K D values. The picture shows a simulation of the complex between a 12‐base‐pair B‐DNA (green and blue) and an anilinocalixarene dimer (red), which fits snugly into the major groove. Several physical and spectroscopic characteristics strongly indicate insertion into the major groove.
