Methods to analyze and compare biomacromolecular surfaces are still in their relative infancy on account of the challenges involved in comparing surfaces computationally. We describe a systems chemistry approach that utilizes polymer-scaffolded dynamic combinatorial libraries to experimentally probe biomacromolecular surfaces in aqueous solution which provides feedback as to the nature of the surfaces, allowing the comparison of three globular proteins and a nucleic acid.

A conceptually new approach to the design of macromolecular receptors for lectins is outlined. Carbohydrate-functionalised Polymer-Scaffolded Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries (PS-DCLs) have been prepared in aqueous solution by the reversible conjugation of carbohydrates possessing acylhydrazide functionalities in their aglycone on to an aldehyde-functionalised polymer scaffold. PS-DCLs have been shown to undergo compositional change in response to the addition of lectin templates, with polymer scaffolds preferentially incorporating carbohydrate units which recognise the lectin added.

A water soluble polymer-scaffolded dynamic combinatorial library whose members can interconvert through acylhydrazone exchange was prepared and shown to re-equilibrate in the presence of macromolecular templates.
