TL;DR: A small library of degradable polyester-like glycopolymers was successfully prepared by the combination of radical ring-opening copolymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane as a cyclic ketene acetal with vinyl ether derivatives and a Pd-catalyzed thioglycoconjugation, which were stable up to 4 months and were enzymatically degraded.

TL;DR: In this paper , the cell-free expressed lectins can be directly coupled with BLI analysis, either in solution or immobilized on the sensor, to measure interaction with carbohydrate ligands without purification.

TL;DR: The structural basis of the protein affinity towards different saccharides could serve as a starting point in the design of new and efficient ligand analogs and inhibitors, which may direct the conception of new strategies to fight against pathogenic agents.
