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 the functional or structural analogue of a glycan;
- a binding unit and an acid unit, wherein the binding unit is bindable to the glycan;
- and the acid unit is proximal to a glycosidic bond of the glycan during binding of the glycan to the binding unit.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
