Abstract:
To investigate structural requirements for the homophilic interaction between carbohydrates on planar model membranes, divalent derivatives with enforced proximity between the two carbohydrate epitopes (lactose, Lewis(X), and sialyl Lewis(X)) were synthesized by use of a dimeric membrane anchor as scaffold.
