- Photoderivatized polymer-coated gold surfaces have been developed following a perfluorophenylazide-based double ligation strategy. Gold-plated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) crystals were initially covalently functionalized with a monolayer of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), using photo-or thermolytic nitrene formation and insertion. The polymer surfaces were subsequently used as substrates for photoinsertion of carbohydrate-derivatized photoprobes, yielding different recognition motifs for selective protein binding. The resulting robust and biocompatible sensor surfaces were applied to a flow-through QCM instrument for monitoring lectin-carbohydrate interactions in real time. The results clearly show the predicted lectin selectivity, demonstrating the applicability of the approach.

- The performance of immunosensors is highly dependent on the amount of immobilized antibodies and their remaining antigen binding capacity. In this work, a method for immobilization of antibodies on a two dimensional carboxyl surface has been optimized using quartz crystal microbalance biosensors. We have shown that successful immobilization is highly dependent on surface pKa, antibody pI and pH of immobilization buffer. By use of EDC/sulfo-NHS activation reagents, the effect of the intrinsic surface pKa is avoided and immobilization also at very low pH has been made possible which is of importance for immobilization of acidic proteins. Generic immobilization conditions were demonstrated on a panel of antibodies which resulted in an average coefficient of variation of 4% for the immobilization of these antibodies. Antigen binding capacity as a function of immobilization pH was studied. In most cases the antigen binding capacity followed the immobilization response. However, the antigen to antibody binding ratio differed between the antibodies investigated, and for one of the antibodies, the antigen binding capacity was significantly lower than expected from immobilization in a certain pH range. Tests with anti-Fc and anti-Fab antibodies on different antibody surfaces showed that the orientation of the antibodies on the surface had a profound effect on the antigen binding capacity of the immobilized antibodies.

- A neighboring equatorial ester group plays a highly important role in the Lattrell-Dax (nitrite-mediated) carbohydrate epimerization reaction, inducing the formation of inversion compounds in good yields. On the basis of this effect, efficient synthetic routes to beta-D-mannosides and beta-D-talosides, from the corresponding beta-D-galactosides and beta-D-glucosides, have been designed. The present routes are based on multiple regioselective acylation via the respective stannylene intermediates, followed by inversions to the corresponding manno- and talopyranoside structures by nitrite or acetate substitution. It was found that the ester group was able to induce the inversion of its two neighboring groups in high yields following either a double parallel or a double serial inversion process. By combination of direct inversion, and neighboring- as well as remote-group participation, several beta-D-mannoside and beta-D-taloside derivatives were very conveniently obtained in good yields.

- Regioselective control in organotin-mediated multiple acylation of carbohydrates is presented. The acylation reagent could be efficiently used to direct the product formation. Reagent-dependent thermodynamic and kinetic control and dynamic assistance mechanisms are suggested, resulting in the efficient preparation of building blocks that normally require many steps with traditional synthesis.

- The Lattrell-Dax method of nitrite-mediated substitution of carbohydrate triflates is an efficient method to generate structures of inverse configuration. In the present study, epimerization of gluco- and galactopyranoside derivatives to the corresponding allo- and gulopyranoside structures by triflation/nitrite treatment has been investigated. It was found that a neighboring ester group was essential for the reactivity of the nitrite-mediated triflate, inversion. Furthermore, a good inversion yield also depended on the relative configuration of the neighboring ester group to the triflate. Only with the ester group in the equatorial position, whatever the configuration of the triflate, did the reaction proceed smoothly, whereas a neighboring axial ester group proved largely inefficient. The results were subsequently used to predict the inversion of glucopyranoside derivatives to the mannopyranoside epimers.

UV-cross-linked poly(vinylpyridine) thin films as reversibly responsive surfaces

- We report that UV-cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) films acted as reversibly responsive coatings that controlled surface wettability and swelling toward external stimuli: solvent and pH. The polymer films were prepared simply by spin-coating a solution of P4VP followed by UV irradiation. These cross-linked films, when treated with chloroform, showed similar to 31% increase in film thickness whereas films extracted with methylene chloride or n-butanol exhibited a slight decrease. The increase in film thickness was due to the protonation of pyridyl groups by hydrogen chloride resulting from the photodegeneration of chloroform. The film expanded to minimize repulsion around the charged centers. This hypothesis was further confirmed by exposing the cross-linked film to hydrogen chloride vapor. The film expanded similar to 37% whereas no thickness increase was observed for films exposed to ammonia or methanol vapors. The extent of swelling was monitored in situ using a quartz crystal microbalance sensor. Large oscillation frequency shifts were detected when the UV-cross-linked P4VP film was exposed to acidic buffer solutions. The changes were rapid, and the effect was reversible.

Carbohydrate Synthesis and Study of Carbohydrate-Lectin Interactions Using QCM Biosensors and Microarray Technologies
- 2006

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Interactions between carbohydrates and proteins are increasingly being recognized as crucial in many biological processes, such as cellular adhesion and communication. In order to investigate the interactions of carbohydrates and proteins, the development of efficient analytic technologies, as well as novel strategies for the synthesis of carbohydrates, have to be explored. To date, several methods have been exploited to analyze interactions of carbohydrates and proteins, for example, biosensors, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), X-ray crystallography and array technologies. This thesis describes the development of novel strategies for the synthesis of carbohydrates, as well as new efficient strategies to Quartz Crystal Microbalance- (QCM-) biosensors and carbohydrate microarrays technologies. These methodologies have been used to probe carbohydrate-lectin-interactions for a range of plant and animal lectins.

- Chemical Equation Presented) Sugars in a row. A new strategy for carbohydrate microarrays based on photochemical ligation of perfluorophenylazide-derivatized carbohydrates to PEO surfaces is presented. It constitutes a controllable and robust method of array fabrication, on the carbohydrate chemistry and on the surface-chemistry levels, and the resulting carbohydrate arrays can be efficiently used to reveal the recognition patterns of carbohydrate-binding proteins.

- Carbohydrate-lectin,interactions were probed with dynamic combinatorial libraries, using the plant lectin Concanavalin A as target species. The dynamic combinatorial libraries were generated from a pool of thiol components through reversible thiol-disulfide interchange, and screened using a simple and efficient method based on a quartz crystal microbalance setup. It was found that dimers based on 1-thio- and 6-thin-mannose analogues were the most active inhibitors. Furthermore, the results clearly show that the 6-thio-mannose possess unique characteristics compared to its oxygen-containing counterpart.
