Carbohydrate Materials Discover: Towards a Post-Cellulosic Future

Abstract

The proposed experimental strategy is based on three ideas that, taken together, challenge the conventional paradigms about how to investigate carbohydrate biomaterials: These ideas are: (1) Specific noncovalent binding is a key tool for exploring and attenuating the assembly of supramolecular hierarchical materials, (2) carbohydrate complexity is such that structure and assembly can only be addressed on reasonable timescales using combinatorial datasets, and (3) the most likely way to find binding conjugates for carbohydrates is to search amongst carbohydrates.
