Abstract
The disclosure relates to molecularly-imprinted cross-linked micelles that can selectively hydrolyze carbohydrates.
Claims20
A molecularly-imprinted cross-linked micelle selective for a glycan, the micelle comprising:
- an imprint of a functional or structural analogue of the glycan;
- and
- a binding unit and an acid unit, wherein the binding unit is bindable to the glycan, the acid unit is proximal to a glycosidic bond of the glycan during binding of the glycan to the binding unit, the acid unit is obtained from H2N-(1,4-phenyl)-COOH, H2N—(CH2)n—COOH, H2N—(CH2)n—PO3H2, or H2N—(CH2)n—SO3H, and wherein n is 1 to 6.
A molecularly-imprinted cross-linked micelle selective for a glycan, the micelle comprising:
- an imprint of a functional or structural analogue of the glycan;
- and
- a binding unit and an acid unit, wherein the binding unit is bindable to the glycan, the acid unit is proximal to a glycosidic bond of the glycan during binding of the glycan to the binding unit, and wherein the functional or structural analogue of the glycan has the structure:
