Cation-π interactions are the major noncovalent interactions for molecular recognition and play a central role in a broad area of chemistry and biology. Despite tremendous success in understanding the origin and biological importance of cation-π interactions, the design and synthesis of stronger cation-π interactions remain elusive. Here, we report an approach that greatly increases the binding energy of cation-π interactions by replacing Trp in the aromatic box with an electron-rich Trp derivative using the genetic code expans
