Molecularly imprinted materials for glycan recognition and processing.


ABSTRACT: Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules on Earth and glycosylation is the most common posttranslational modification of proteins. Glycans are involved in a plethora of biological processes including cell adhesion, bacterial and viral infection, inflammation, and cancer development. Coincidently, glycosides were some of the earliest molecules imprinted and have been instrumental in the development of covalent molecular imprinting technology. This perspective illustrates recently developed molecularly imprinted materials for glycan binding and processing. Novel imprinting techniques and postmodification led to development of synthetic glycan-binding materials capable of competing with natural lectins in affinity and artificial glycosidases for selective hydrolysis of complex glycans. These materials are expected to significantly advance glycochemistry, glycobiology, and related areas such as biomass conversion.
