Figure 1. Sialic acid-responsive polymer design idea inspired from carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction.

Figure 1

(a) Schematic illustration of carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions occurred among glycoconjugates (i.e., glycoprotein, glycolipid, and glycans) located on cell membrane surface26. (b) Chemical structures of grafted polymer PAM-g-lactose0.11, and Neu5Ac (a typical sialic acid).
