Photons to illuminate the universe of sugar diversity through bioarrays

Glycoconj J. 2008 Jan;25(1):5-10. doi: 10.1007/s10719-007-9052-1. Epub 2007 Jul 4.

Abstract

In this mini-review, we summarize the photochemical approaches for developing high-throughput carbohydrate microarray technologies. Newly established methods for photo-immobilizing unmodified monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides onto photoactive surfaces and coupling of photoactive carbohydrates onto polymer surfaces are reviewed.
