Synthesis and binding affinity analysis of alpha 1-2-and alpha 1-6-O/S-linked dimannosides for the elucidation of sulfur in glycosidic bonds using quartz crystal microbalance sensors

• The role of sulfur in glycosidic bonds has been evaluated using quartz crystal microbalance methodology. Synthetic routes towards alpha 1-2- and alpha 1-6-linked dimannosides with S-or O-glycosidic bonds have been developed, and the recognition properties assessed in competition binding assays with the cognate lectin concanavalin A. Mannose-presenting QCM sensors were produced using photoinitiated, nitrenemediated immobilization methods, and the subsequent binding study was performed in an automated flow-through instrumentation, and correlated with data from isothermal titration calorimetry. The recorded Kd-values corresponded well with reported binding affinities for the O-linked dimannosides with affinities for the alpha 1-2-linked dimannosides in the lower micromolar range. The S-linked analogs showed slightly disparate effects, where the alpha 1-6-linked analog showed weaker affinity than the O-linked dimannoside, as well as positive apparent cooperativity, whereas the alpha 1-2-analog displayed very similar binding compared to the O-linked structure.
