An efficient method for the direct and covalent decoration of granules of nanostructured apatite with a sample monosaccharide is presented: the hydroxyapatite material was directly functionalised with a short azido-containing spacer arm, to which alpha-propargyl glucopyranoside has been chemoselectively ligated by Huisgen-type cycloaddition. The 'glycosylated' hydroxypatite was characterised by its ability to interact with glucose recognising lectins. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
An efficient method for the direct and covalent decoration of granules of nanostructured apatite with a sample monosaccharide is presented: the hydroxyapatite material was directly functionalised with a short azido-containing spacer arm, to which alpha-propargyl glucopyranoside has been chemoselectively ligated by Huisgen-type cycloaddition. The 'glycosylated' hydroxypatite was characterised by its ability to interact with glucose recognising lectins. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
