Abstract: Using UV-Vis spectroscopic and 1HNMR methods, we have invest igated The molecu lar recognition of am ino acid esters by 5(2 carbox ypheny l)10, 15, 20 tripheny lporphyrin.The binding const ants between o-TPPCO2H and Lphenylalanine ethylester, and Lthreonine ethyl ester were obt ained.The possible recognition mode of The free porphyrin to amino acid esters has been suggested.The hydrogen bond between one of The two hydrogens of pyrroL in o-TPPCO2H and The oxygen of The carboxyl group of amino acid ester acts as one point of interaction.Another pointof interaction is The base acid interaction between amino group of amino acid ester and car boxyl group of porphyrin.

Key words: Porphyrin, Amino acid esters, New mode of molecular recognition
