Glycopolymers by RAFT Polymerization as Functional Surfaces for Galectin‐3

Back Cover: In article number 1900293 by Ruben R. Rosencrantz and co‐workers, glycopolymers—polymers with pendent glycan groups—are synthesized from glycomonomers by RAFT polymerization and directly grafted‐to gold surfaces. The multivalent ligand presentation within the polymer results in remarkable high binding avidity toward human galectin‐3 and the plant lectin ECL proven by SPR measurements.
