While parallel synthesis of arrays of glycopeptides is readily achieved by implementation of the building-block approach (Scheme 14.1, Strategy 2),101 glycopeptide library synthesis in a combinatorial manner via the split-mix method has yet to prove routine. The difficulty lies in the structural analysis of the vast number of compounds generated in picomolar quantities on a single bead. Whereas peptides on...

While enzymes have not yet been used in the solid-phase synthesis of glycopeptide libraries, several resin-bound glycopeptides have been glycosylated enzymatically.36,114...

In general, the various synthesis strategies for nanocarbon hybrids can be categorized as ex situ and in situ techniques [3]. The ex situ ( building block ) approach involves the separate synthesis of the two components prior to their hybridization. One can rely on a plethora of scientific work to ensure good control of the component s dimensions (i.e. size, number of layers), morphology (i.e. spherical nanoparticles, nanowires) and functionalization. The components are then hybridized through covalent, noncovalent or electrostatic interactions. In contrast, the in situ approach is a one-step process that involves the synthesis of one of the components in the pres-... 

In this building-block approach, the components are synthesized separately and then hybridized via linking agents/methods that utilize covalent, noncovalent (van der Waals, n-n interactions, hydrogen bonding), or electrostatic interactions. The attachment of these building blocks often requires the chemical modification of at least one component to overcome the differences in surface chemistry. As a consequence deposition is often limited to the first layer. Excess nanoparticles can be removed by filtration or centrifugation.
