Abstract

The study of complex multivalent carbohydrate-protein interactions remains highly complicated and sometimes rendered impossible due to aggregation problems. In this study, we demonstrate that bio-layer interferometry is an excellent complementary method to standard techniques such as SPR and ITC. Using tetra- and hexadecavalent GalNAc glycoconjugates and Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) as a model lectin, we were able to measure reliable kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of multivalent interactions going from the micro to the nanomolar range.
