Abstract

Cyclodextrins (CDs), a family of macrocyclic oligosaccharides, are well known as drug carriers due to their specific structures and properties. Their adequate size and truncated cone-shaped architecture with inner slightly hydrophobic cavity and outer hydrophilic surface provide suitable space for interaction with many types of organic and inorganic compounds, including ions, proteins and oligonucleotides.
