Abstract

Selection with modified aptamers: A method is described for design of glycocluster ligands by directed evolution. Glycan azides are attached to a library of alkyne-containing DNA sequences. DNA sequences which cluster the glycans best for multivalent binding to the target are selected and amplified. This method has been applied to the development of high-mannose clusters which bind HIV-neutralizing antibody 2G12.
