Carbohydrate-based nanoscience : metallo-glycodendrimers and quantum dots as multivalent probes

Year: 2011

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Rapid progress in nanoscience and its potential applications have spurred observers to predict that nanotechnology will the foremost science of the 21 st century.Nanomaterials are beginning to have a major impact on research across the material and life sciences.While wide varieties of nanomaterials have been prepared with proteins, DNA, lipids and polymers, serious limitations arise with the neo-glycoconjugates due to the ambiguous structures and lack of well-defined carbohydrates.This chapter highlights the contribution of glyconanomaterials to biological, biochemical and biophysical studies.Particular focus will be placed on metallo-glycodendrimers and glyconanoparticles.
