title: First steps towards conformationally selective artificial lectins: the chair-boat discrimination by molecularly imprinted polymers.
abstract: A series of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared in the presence of a synthetic galactoside locked in a (1,4)B boat conformation. This study demonstrates that, depending on the polymerisation technique, an organic material can selectively bind a carbohydrate in a biologically relevant boat conformation.
