Multivalent binding of galactosylated cyclodextrin vesicles to lectin

Org Biomol Chem. 2004 Apr 7;2(7):957-60. doi: 10.1039/b400988f. Epub 2004 Feb 26.

Abstract

Amphiphilic beta-cyclodextrins with alkylthio chains at the primary-hydroxyl side and galactosylthio-oligo-(ethylene glycol) units at the secondary-hydroxyl side, which form nanoparticles and vesicles, show multivalent effects in their binding to lectin.
