Efforts to understand and to modulate physiologically relevant protein-carbohydrate interactions have led to the synthesis of many glycosylated frameworks (Zanini and Roy 1998a Mann and Kiessling 2001 Choi 2004 Wittmann 2004). In order for a synthetic, carbohydrate-functionalized framework to be successfully used for binding to proteins, the carbohydrates on the framework must be appropriately
