title: Synthesis and applications of end-labeled neoglycopolymers.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Neoglycopolymers that vary in length and contain a single fluorescent reporter group were synthesized using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The utility of these materials is demonstrated by the development of a cellular binding assay for L-selectin, a cell surface protein that plays a role in inflammation. The data reveal that these multivalent ligands interact with multiple copies of L-selectin.
