There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Synthetic lectin mimics and their applications
Variations of glycosylation patterns in glycoproducts are often indicators of pathological changes. Synthetic lectin mimics capable of selective recognition of carbohydrate biomarkers are potential diagnostics and important research tools in glycobiology. Based on the strong interactions between the boronic acid moiety and hydroxyl groups, we have developed a number of boronic acid-based lectin mimics. This presentation will discuss the synthesis and applications of these lectin mimics.
