Deskripsi
Quick and accurate measurements of specific metabolites are critical to diagnose certain pathological conditions, but quantification methods for relatively low molecular-weight metabolites are limited. Here, the water-soluble pillar[6]arene is used to specifically and quantitatively detect 1-methylnicotinamide in crude urinary samples.
