t-Butyl 3-azido- and 3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-α-d-arabino-hexopyranosides: a concise protocol of structural and chemical profiles to identify metal ion binding modes

The metal cations-polysaccharides complexes play crucial roles in the process of immune cell recognitions. Here, we create simpler biomimetic ligands, which emulate binding of carbohydrates in livi...
