Article Synopsis
- - Glycan-lectin interactions are critical in biological processes like pathogen attachment and immune response, but current methods to study these interactions are often expensive and not widely accessible.
- - Recently developed glycosylated plasmonic nanoparticles offer a cost-effective biosensor alternative that detects glycan-protein binding through noticeable color changes, which can be analyzed with simple equipment.
- - This research suggests optimal parameters (gold core size and polymer tether length) for using these nanoparticles, allowing lab users to efficiently investigate new glycan/protein interactions with minimal optimization needed.
