title: Highly selective oligosaccharide sensing by a Curdlan-polythiophene hybrid.
abstract: An in situ hybrid complex of Curdlan with water-soluble polythiophene functioned as a highly sensitive and selective saccharide chemosensor in aqueous media, enabling us to discriminate tetrasaccharide acarbose at 1 μM from 24 mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentasaccharides.
