Abstract

The design of artificial carbohydrate sensors operating through non-covalent interactions is a subject of intensive current research, due to their broad utility in wide-ranging applications from the food and cosmetic industries to medicinal and academic arenas. 1 Because of the subtle variation in the sugar structures and the three-dimensional arrangement of their functionalities, the frameworks of carbohydrate receptors must be large enough to be able ...
