ABSTRACT: Covalent immobilization of a range of carbohydrate derivatives onto polymeric resin beads is
described. Copper-catalyzed Huisgen [2 + 3] cycloaddition (often termed click chemistry) was used to graft
mannose-containing azides to complementarily functionalized alkyne surfaces, namely (a) Wang resin or (b)
Rasta particles consisting of a clickable alkyne polymer loose outer shell and a Wang resin inner core. For the
second approach, Wang resin beads were first converted into immobilized living radical polymerization initiators
with subsequent polymerization of trimethylsilanyl-protected propargyl methacrylate followed by deprotection
with TBAF to yield the desired polyalkyne clickable scaffold. The appropriate R-mannopyranoside azide was
then clicked onto the bead to give a mannose functionalized Rasta resin. IR, gel-phase 1H NMR, and elemental
analysis have been used to characterize the modified resins. The binding abilities of these D-mannose-modified
particles were subsequently tested using fluorescein-labeled Concanavalin A (Con A), a lectin that binds certain
mannose-containing molecules. Preliminary results indicated that the novel glyco-hybrid materials presented in
this work are able to efficiently recognize mannose-binding model lectins such as Con A, opening the way for
their potential application in affinity chromatography, sensors, and other protein recognition/separation fields.
