Readily accessible, low-valency glycoclusters based on a triazine core bearing D-galactose and L-fucose epitopes are able to inhibit biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These multivalent ligands are simple to synthesize, are highly soluble, and can be either homofunctional or heterofunctional. The galactose-decorated cluster shows good affinity for Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin lecA. They are convenient biological probes for investigating the roles of lecA and lecB in biofilm formation.
基于三嗪核心的低价值糖团集合体,带有D-半乳糖和L-岩藻糖表位,能够抑制铜绿假单胞菌的生物膜形成。这些多价配体易于合成,溶解性高,可以是同功能或异功能的。装饰有半乳糖的团簇对铜绿假单胞菌凝集素lecA表现出良好的亲和力。它们是研究lecA和lecB在生物膜形成中作用的便利生物探针。
