title: Glycopolymer-Grafted Polymer Particles for Lectin Recognition.
abstract: Glycopolymers bearing carbohydrates have an advantage in protein recognition that is attributable to the multivalent effect (cluster effect) of side-chain carbohydrates. A variety of surface-modified polymer particles have been prepared concurrently with the development of new synthetic technology. Here we describe a synthetic method of glycopolymer-grafted polymer particles by surface-initiated living radical polymerization, i.e., atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and photoiniferter polymerization, for specific lectin recognition.
