Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Multivalent interaction that enhances affinity between proteins and ligands is called a cluster effect. We evaluated the binding affinity and antifungal activity of PRM-AuNPs, which was synthesized by functionalizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with pradimicin (PRM), antifungal and anti-HIV natural product. Consequently, the binding affinity of PRM-AuNPs to mannose (Man) was found to increased ten times as strong as the case of PRM although the antifungal activity of PRM-AuNPs was slightly decreased. Moreover, by making use of the distance-dependent optical properties of AuNPs as well as the Man-specific binding ability of PRM, we have developed a chemosensor that was capable of recognizing mannose residues in oligosaccharides.
