Synthesis and testing of the first azobenzene mannobioside as photoswitchable ligand for the bacterial lectin FimH
In order to allow spatial and temporal control of carbohydrate-specific bacterial adhesion, it has become our goal to synthesise azobenzene mannosides as photoswitchable inhibitors of type 1 fimbriae-mediated adhesion of E. coli. An azobenzene mannobioside 2 was prepared and its photochromic propert...
