Abstract

Oligosaccharides, like proteins and DNA, are ubiquitous biopolymers that mediate essential functions in organisms.[1] Yet, an understanding of the many roles that carbohydrates play is still at an early stage and essentially absent when compared to our knowledge of the functions of proteins and nucleic acids.[2] This contrast reflects the lack of convenient and flexible tools for the synthesis and biochemical analysis of oligosaccharides and their ...
