Structures of mucin-type O-linked glycosylation and the structure and synthesis of a mucin mimetic. (A) Mucin-type O-linked glycosylation is characterized by densely functionalized arrays of glycans on a polypeptide backbone. (B) A derivatized polyvinylketone backbone can approximate endogenous mucins. (C) The synthesis of mucin mimics proceeds by condensing aminooxy-GalNAc with polyvinyl ketone. Extended sugars can also be incorporated.
