Abstract:A regioselective method to directly attach two fucosides to β‐cyclodextrin has been discovered. With seven positions available on the secondary rim, the major product turned out to display the 3A,3D substitution pattern. Molecular dynamics simulations of the nonasaccharide product revealed tilting and bending of the fucosylated cyclodextrin residues, suggesting some degree of flexibility in this novel glycocluster. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. T. C. Walvoort et al. on page 6722.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
