   Author : Lingquan Deng; Olof Ramström; Javier Rojo; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbohydrates; Glycobiology; Carbohydrate-protein interactions; Perfluorophenylazide PFPA ; Photochemistry; Carbohydrate surface immobilization; Carbohydrate microarrays; Surface plasmon resonance SPR ; Quartz crystal microbalance QCM ; Atomic force microscopy AFM ; Glyconanomaterials; Concanavalin A Con A ; Cyanovirin-N CV-N ; 1-Glycosyl thiols; Mutarotation; 1-S-glycosylation; Stereocontrol;

   Abstract : This thesis mainly deals with the development of photochemical approaches to immobilize carbohydrates on surfaces for glycobiological studies. These approaches have been incorporated into a number of state-of-the-art nanobio-platforms, including carbohydrate microarrays, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and glyconanomaterials.

   Abstract : Forest biotechnology is a fast emerging field of research. The application of biotechnological tools will enhance the quality of the forest products. The resultant value added and environmentally sustainable products are an absolute necessity in the future. READ MORE

7. 5. Carbohydrate Synthesis and Study of Carbohydrate-Lectin Interactions Using QCM Biosensors and Microarray Technologies

   Author : Zhichao Pei; Olof Ramström; Roland J. Pieters; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lectins; Carbohydrates; Molecular recognition; Biosensors; Quartz crystal microbalance; Carbohydrate microarrays.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Abstract : Interactions between carbohydrates and proteins are increasingly being recognized as crucial in many biological processes, such as cellular adhesion and communication. In order to investigate the interactions of carbohydrates and proteins, the development of efficient analytic technologies, as well as novel strategies for the synthesis of carbohydrates, have to be explored.
