Probing Specificity in Carbohydrate-Carbohydrate Interactions with Micelles and Langmuir Monolayers

The epimerization of a single axial hydroxy group in a carbohydrate can affect carbohydrate–carbohydrate interactions significantly. Glycolipid micelles and glycolipid‐containing Langmuir monolayers (see picture) were used to model these key interactions on the molecular level. (GM3 is the gangliosi...

Zusammenfassung:The epimerization of a single axial hydroxy group in a carbohydrate can affect carbohydrate–carbohydrate interactions significantly. Glycolipid micelles and glycolipid‐containing Langmuir monolayers (see picture) were used to model these key interactions on the molecular level. (GM3 is the ganglioside sialosyl‐lactosylceramide found on the surface of melanoma cells.)
