Multivalent glycosystems for nanoscience

نویسنده

چکیده

Carbohydrates constitute the most abundant class of biomolecules on Earth. They are “global players” and indeed play many roles. They store energy and water. They serve as metabolic intermediates. They function as stable, raw materials or as intelligent, bioengineered products. They are even active in “social media”, that is, they mediate communication between cells and they store information by molecular shaping. They adopt more forms and shapes than one can conceive in 24 hours. They exist as small monoor oligo-saccharides, as large and highly complex polysaccharides, and in conjugation with, for example, proteins and lipids, forming a kingdom of glycoconjugates that are found on every cell surface.

Multivalency in heterogeneous glycoenvironments: hetero-glycoclusters, -glycopolymers and -glycoassemblies.

Despite efficiently imitating functional ligand presentations in terms of valency and density, most of the reported multivalent carbohydrate prototypes barely reflect the inherent heterogeneity of biological systems, therefore underestimating the potential contribution of synergistic or antagonistic effects to molecular recognition events. To address this question, the design of novel molecular...

On meromorphically multivalent functions defined by multiplier transformation

The purpose of this paper is to derive various useful subordination properties and characteristics for certain subclass of multivalent meromorphic functions, which are defined here by the multiplier transformation. Also, we obtained inclusion relationship for this subclass.

Some properties for a class of meromorphically multivalent functions with linear operator

‎Making use of a linear operator‎, ‎which is defined here by means of‎ ‎the Hadamard product (or convolution)‎, ‎we define a subclass‎ ‎$mathcal {T}_{p}(a‎, ‎c‎, ‎gamma‎, ‎lambda; h)$ of meromorphically‎ ‎multivalent functions‎. ‎The main object of this paper is to‎ ‎investigate some important properties for the class‎. ‎We also derive‎ ‎many results for the Hadamard roducts of functions belong...

Social Anomia against the Backdrop of Misinformation/ Disinformation: A Cognitive Approach to the Multivalent Data in Cyberspace

The present study is an attempt to problematize the multivalent data in the cyberspace through the lenses of Wittgenstein’s analytic philosophy of language. Adopting this linguistic philosophy approach is aimed at exploring the dichotomous question of whether cyberspace is a possibility for social power or it is a contributory cause of communicative discontinuity and henceforth a possibility fo...
