Abstract:

Non-covalently connected micelles(NCCM) strategy was employed to obtain glyco-micelles covered by sugars in a convenient way. The impact factors for the recognition between carbohydrate and protein in solution were studied using dynamic light scattering(DLS) in real time. The results indicate that the agglutination ability of different lectins is of significant distinction, as measured by the formation rate of aggregates. For glyco-micelles covered by 100% lactose, the binding rates to different lectins can be recorded as SBA?LecA≈Galectin 3> ECA≈Galectin 1, which suggests that not only number of binding sites but also how they are displayed have great influence on the kinetics of the multivalent interaction. Meanwhile, Human Galectin 3, a protein of important biological function with rather mysterious binding behavior, was studied further as an application of the method.
