High specificity nanosensors for glycobiology . This project aims to develop high specificity glycosensors for identifying and characterising carbohydrates. These glycosensors are expected to generate detailed information on carbohydrate stereochemical structure and how this controls protein-carbohydrate binding and other interactions fundamental to biochemical processes. This innovative nanotechnology aims to deliver a new capability for understanding cellular recognition and antigen binding me ....High specificity nanosensors for glycobiology . This project aims to develop high specificity glycosensors for identifying and characterising carbohydrates. These glycosensors are expected to generate detailed information on carbohydrate stereochemical structure and how this controls protein-carbohydrate binding and other interactions fundamental to biochemical processes. This innovative nanotechnology aims to deliver a new capability for understanding cellular recognition and antigen binding mechanisms. The expected outcomes are new tools for glycobiology and research into carbohydrate structure-function relationships, strengthening Australia’s global reputation in nanosensors with an incisive analytical technology for biomedical sciences and the many industries utilising carbohydrates.Read moreRead less
