Abstract
Neoglycoconjugates are useful tools to study carbohydrate/protein interactions. In order to discover new lectins, to define their fine specificity or to study their intracellular trafficking, there is a need for neoglycoconjugates containing complex oligosaccharides. We recently set up a simple way to transform native oligosaccharides into glycosynthons. The present paper describes i[emsp4 ]) the synthesis of such glycosynthons starting with sialylated oligosides, ii[emsp4 ]) the preparation of sialylated neoglycoproteins and iii[emsp4 ]) their binding to sialic acid-specific lectins assessed by surface plasmon resonance experiments.
