Synthesis of linked carbohydrates and evaluation of their binding for 16S RNA by mass spectrometry.
A library of linked molecules were synthesized from the common sugar moieties existing in the natural amino glycosides. These linked molecules were screened against bacterial 16S RNA for their binding affinity using a mass spectrometry-based technology. Some of these compounds exhibited low micromolar affinity and could serve as leads for further development as antibacterial agents.
