Glycodynamers: Dynamic Polymers Bearing Oligosaccharides Residues − Generation, Structure, Physicochemical, Component Exchange, and Lectin Binding Properties
Résumé
Dynamic glycopolymers have been generated by polycondensation through acylhydrazone formation between components bearing lateral bioactive oligosaccharide chains. They have been characterized as bottlebrush type by cryo-TEM and SANS studies. They present remarkable fluorescence properties whose emission wavelengths depend on the constitution of the polymer and are tunable by constitutional modification through exchange/incorporation of components, thus also demonstrating their dynamic character. Constitution-dependent binding of these glycodynamers to a lectin, peanut agglutinin, has been demonstrated.
