Abstract excerpt
Nanomaterials with precise biological functions have considerable potential for use in biomedical applications. Here we investigate whether multivalent attachment of small molecules can increase specific binding affinity and reveal new biological properties of such nanomaterials. We describe the parallel synthesis of a library comprising 146 nanoparticles decorated with different synthetic small molecules. Using...
