Yann Ferrand, Emmanuel Klein, Nicholas P. Barwell, Matthew P. Crump, Jesus JimØnez-Barbero, Cristina Vicent, Geert-Jan Boons, Sampat Ingale, and Anthony P. Davis* β-N-Acetyl-d-glucosaminyl (β-GlcNAc, 1) is a common motif in biological chemistry. It is the monomer building block for chitin (2), and occurs frequently in other oligosaccharide structures. It also plays a unique role in protein regulation through linkage to the hydroxy group of serine or threonine as in 3. This “O–GlcNAc”[1] posttranslational modification is highly dynamic [2] and draws comparisons with protein phosphorylation as a biological control mechanism. It has been implicated in gene transcription, nuclear trafficking, protein translation,[3] signal transduction,[4] the regulation of proteinprotein interactions,[1, 4] and the sensing of nutritional levels within the cell.[5] Dysregulation of O–GlcNAc contributes to the aetiology of important human diseases, particularly diabetes and neurological disorders.[2] Research in the Bristol group is aimed at biomimetic carbohydrate receptors [6] that are capable of binding saccharides in water through noncovalent interactions. This goal is challenging as the common carbohydrates are highly hydrophilic and therefore intrinsically difficult to bind from their natural environment. Indeed, lectins [7](the main class of natural carbohydrate receptors) often show modest affinities, which are typically in the millimolar range for monosaccharides.[8] We have focused especially on binding the β-glucosyl family of saccharides, characterized by “all-equatorial” arrays of polar functional groups. Our approach is illustrated in Scheme 1a. Equatorial positioning of the polar groups leaves
