Popis: Single glycan–protein interactions are often weak, such that glycan binding partners commonly utilize multiple, spatially defined binding sites to enhance binding avidity and specificity. Current array technologies usually neglect defined multivalent display. Laser‐based array synthesis technology allows for flexible and rapid on‐surface synthesis of different peptides. By combining this technique with click chemistry, neo‐glycopeptides were produced directly on a functionalized glass slide in the microarray format. Density and spatial distribution of carbohydrates can be tuned, resulting in well‐defined glycan structures for multivalent display. The two lectins concanavalin A and langerin were probed with different glycans on multivalent scaffolds, revealing strong spacing‐, density‐, and ligand‐dependent binding. In addition, we could also measure the surface dissociation constant. This approach allows for a rapid generation, screening, and optimization of a multitude of multivalent scaffolds for glycan binding.
Interactions of proteins with glycans rely on multivalency, where multiple adjacent binding events are involved. To study this glycan density‐dependent binding, a facile technique to synthesize peptide‐based multivalent carbohydrate scaffolds in parallel, directly on‐chip, in the microarray format, was developed. This allows to rapidly generate arrays of multivalent glycan structures, without the need for individual multistep syntheses per compound.
