Complexe d'inclusion. Un complexe d'inclusion est une association moléculaire entre une ou plusieurs molécules dont l'une est l'hôte (le récepteur) et l'autre l'invitée (le substrat). La molécule «invitée» est alors encapsulée de façon totale ou partielle dans le récepteur. Les liens entre la molécule hôte et la molécule invitée sont des interactions faibles, ce qui permet une dissociation aisée et douce. 3, record 1, French, - mol%C3%A9cule%20invit%C3%A9e
