Zusammenfassung:An improved method for measuring an interaction between sugars and targets by a fluorescence polarization technique is provided. The improvement resides in that the sugars are involved in the form of substantially stable fluorescence-labeled sugars which are obtained by reacting specific groups (e.g., reducing groups) of the sugars with labeling fluorophores. This method can be used for the screening of sugars, particularly those derived from natural products, having an interaction with targets and the subsequent structural analysis of such sugars, or for the screening of targets having an interaction with specific sugars and the subsequent structural analysis of such targets.
