A chemo-enzymatic approach to the study of carbohydrate recognition in biological systems.
This report describes our recent work on the study of carbohydrate-mediated cell adhesion, including the development of new methods for carbohydrate synthesis, the inhibition of enzymes involved in the cell adhesion process and the design and synthesis of carbohydrate mimetics.
