SUPPORT COMPRISING IMMOBILISED CARBOHYDRATE MOLECULES AND ITS USE

摘要

A support on which is immobilised a carbohydrate-containing molecule or molecules, wherein said support has multiple channels substantially perpendicular to the surface of the support onto which the carbohydrate­containing molecule or molecules is applied, and wherein the channels are open to the surface and have a diameter large enough to accommodate the carbohydrate-containing molecule. A support on which is immobilised a carbohydrate-containing molecule or molecules, wherein said support comprises a metal oxide. A method of determining whether a molecule interacts with a carbohydrate comprising: i) contacting a support according to the invention with the molecule; and ii) measuring whether the molecule binds to a carbohydrate­containing molecule or molecules on the support.
