Popis: A sensitive, specific, and rapid method for the detection of carbohydrate-protein interactions was demonstrated using quantum dots (QDs) as a fluorescence label coupled with protein. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition between azide and alkyne was exploited to attach α-D-glucopyranoside to a C 1 4 hydrocarbon chain that noncovalently binds to the microtiter well surface, and the product formation was detected by both electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and QD- (or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC))-conjugated lectin binding. It indicated that the peak intensity of the fluorescence emission was proportional to the initial concanavalin A (Con A) concentration in the range of 2 × 10 - 3 μmol/L to 2 x 10 - 2 n-imol/L with a detection limit at least 100 times lower than that of the FITC-based method.
