Multivalency in a Dendritic Host–Guest System [PDF]
\u3cp\u3eMultivalency is an important instrument in the supramolecular chemistry toolkit for the creation of strong specific interactions. In this paper we investigate the multivalency effect in a dendritic host-guest system using molecular dynamics ...

Clicked and long spaced galactosyl- and lactosylcalix[4]arenes: new multivalent galectin-3 ligands
Four novel calix[4]arene-based glycoclusters were synthesized by conjugating the saccharide units to the macrocyclic scaffold using the CuAAC reaction and using long and hydrophilic ethylene glycol spacers.

Influence of length and flexibility of spacers on the binding affinity of divalent ligands
We present a quantitative model for the binding of divalent ligand–receptor systems. We study the influence of length and flexibility of the spacers on the overall binding affinity and derive general rules for the optimal ligand design.

Synthesis of the first examples of iminosugar clusters based on cyclopeptoid cores
Cyclic N-propargyl α-peptoids of various sizes were prepared by way of macrocyclizations of linear N-substituted oligoglycines. These compounds were used as molecular platforms to synthesize a series of iminosugar clusters with different valency and ...

Multivalent scaffolds induce galectin-3 aggregation into nanoparticles
Galectin-3 meditates cell surface glycoprotein clustering, cross linking, and lattice formation. In cancer biology, galectin-3 has been reported to play a role in aggregation processes that lead to tumor embolization and survival.
