Carbohydrate-Carbohydrate Interaction between Glycolipids and Glycoconjugate Polystyrenes at the Air-water Interface

Abstract Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction at the air-water interface was investigated by π-A isotherms of GM3 (ganglioside monosialate 3, NeuAcα2-3Galβ1-4Glcβ1-Cer) and LacCer (lactosyleramide, Galβ1-4Glcβ1-Cer) in the presence of glycoconjugate polystyrenes bearing Gg3 oligosaccharide (GalNAcβ1-4Galβ1-4Glc), lactose, and cellobiose.
