Synthetic neoglycolipids for biological applications: correlation between their structures and their interactions with membrane proteins

Biochimie. 1998 May-Jun;80(5-6):483-7. doi: 10.1016/s0300-9084(00)80015-2.

Abstract

Synthetic glycolipids are of interest for their biological applications requiring interactions with membrane proteins. Depending on their structures, new series of glycolipids have applications in extraction of membrane proteins or medical applications as mimics of natural ligands of proteins.
