Molecular recognition of carbohydrates plays vital roles in biology but has been difficult to achieve with synthetic receptors. Through covalent imprinting of carbohydrates in boroxole-functionalized cross-linked micelles, we prepared nanoparticle receptors for a wide variety of mono- and oligosaccharides. The boroxole functional monomer bound the sugar templates through cis-1,2-diol, cis-3,4-diol
碳水化合物的分子识别在生物学中起着至关重要的作用,但很难通过合成受体实现。通过硼烷官能化交联胶束中碳水化合物的共价印记,我们制备了多种单糖和寡糖的纳米颗粒受体。硼烷功能单体通过 cis-1,2-diol、cis-3,4-diol 和 trans-4,6-diol 结合糖模板。蛋白质大小的纳米粒子对水中的 d-己醛糖显示出优异的选择性,具有亚毫摩尔级的结合亲和力,并完全区分了三种生物学上重要的己糖(葡萄糖、甘露糖和半乳糖)。由于增强的疏水相互作用,具有非极性苷元的糖苷显示出更强的结合。寡糖的区别在于它们的单糖结构单元,
