Abstract
Rigid spacers: Optimal highly potent divalent ligands of the P. aeruginosa lectin LecA have been prepared. The ligands consist of a rigid spacer derived from glucose-triazole units (see figure). Systematic variation of the number of spacer units and the aglycon linker led to a 7500-fold enhancement in potency. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
