Disclosed herein are embodiments of a compound that can be used as a supramolecular sensor for determining the presence of analytes (e.g., illicit drugs), and for identifying and/or quantifying the analytes. Also disclosed herein is a parallel synthesis method for making compound embodiments, as well as method embodiments for using the compound embodiments. Array embodiments comprising one or more compound embodiments disclosed herein also are described.

Compound and dimer complex embodiments for supramolecular sensing

Disclosed herein are embodiments of compounds, conjugates, and devices, such as columns comprising such compounds and/or conjugates, that can be used to identify, separate, and quantify post-translationally modified analytes. The disclosed compounds and conjugates can be used to discriminate between analytes, such as peptides, having different post-translation modifications, such as methylations, phosphorylations, acetylations, citrullinations, hydroxylations, nitrosylations, ADP-ribosylations, glycosylations, propionylations, butyrylations, crotonylations, 2-hydroxyisobutyrylations, malonylations, succinylations, formylations, ubiquitinations, neddylations, proline cis-trans isomerizations. In particular disclosed embodiments, the compounds and conjugates can be used to separate peptides having different degrees of methylation.

Compounds and conjugates for identifying and separating post-translationally modified analytes

A method for quantifying acetylamantadine in a urine sample comprises eluting acetylamantadine from the urine sample using solid phase extraction and quantifying the acetylamantadine eluted from the urine sample using Raman spectroscopy.

Detection and quantification of acetylamantadine in urine samples

Disclosed embodiments concern an array for use in identifying or identifying and quantifying analytes in a sample using a macrocyclic sensor comprising a macrocyclic compound and a detectable moiety. The disclosed array may be used to discriminate among various analytes based on different features, such as post-translational modifications, isomeric post-translational modifications, and the peptide sequence around post-translational modifications. Also disclosed is a method for identifying analytes comprising a post-translational modification, as well as an enzymatic assay using the disclosed macrocyclic sensor.
