Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 1998, 37:3383-3387. This new screening method allows the identification of the structure of individual 'hits' in a mixture of compounds and can thus eliminate 'false positives' that arise from reaction byproducts or impurities. Furthermore, binding constants can be determined for individual compounds present in a mixture.

Two consecutive glycosylation reactions using thioglycoside donors allow the synthesis of a small trisaccharide library. The initial immobilized donor becomes an immobilized acceptor during the synthesis.

This paper describes the synthesis of a dodecasaccharide via convergent block synthesis on the solid phase. A novel photocleavable aglycon linker allows the resin cleavage and activation to a new thioglycoside donor to proceed in one step, making this a very efficient approach for the synthesis of large oligosaccharides.

J Am Chem Soc 1998, 120:8319-8327. The binding affinity of a small sugar-based 1,3-hydroxyamine library binding to model RNA spans about two orders of magnitude but shows no sequence specificity. The results suggest that larger and more diversified libraries may eventually provide specific RNA binders.

A 300,000-member encoded glycopeptide library was synthesized on the solid phase and screened (on-bead) with a fluorescently labeled methyl α-D-mannose binding lectin. Interestingly, the most active compounds were glycopeptides containing only α-D-mannose residues, which displayed up to a 25-fold increase in binding.

J Org Chem 1998, 63:2802-2803. Incorporation of a carboxylic acid, a free hydroxyl group and a protected amino group into the sugar scaffold permits efficient three-point functionalization of the carbohydrate scaffold.
