title: Attachment of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides to thiol-derivatised gold surfaces.
abstract: Glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides have been attached to thiol-derivatised gold surfaces, via the formation of mercury-sugar adducts at the non-reducing end, representing a new method of generating versatile glycoconjugates incorporating this class of biologically and medically important carbohydrate.
