Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Readily accessible, low-valency glycoclusters based on a triazine core bearing D-galactose and L-fucose epitopes are able to inhibit biofilm formation by <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic>. These multivalent ligands are simple to synthesize, are highly soluble, and can be either homofunctional or heterofunctional. The galactose-decorated cluster shows good affinity for <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic> lectin lecA. They are convenient biological probes for investigating the roles of lecA and lecB in biofilm formation.</jats:p>
