A glycan that performs catalysis We reported a synthetic glycan sequence capable of catalyzing a chemical reaction. The design features an aromatic recognition site along with a reactive functional group connected via a folded glycan...

Artificial enzymes are based on proteins or RNA. But what if #glycans could also catalyze reactions & serve as #catalytic scaffolds?
Read in this blog post how @delbiancom.bsky.social created a glycan #foldamer that uses carbohydrate-aromatic interactions to perform #catalysis
