Ru(II)-carbohydrate dendrimers as photoinduced electron transfer lectin biosensors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Jan 8:(2):235-7. doi: 10.1039/b814146k. Epub 2008 Nov 26.

Abstract

Three tris(bipyridine)ruthenium dendrimers bearing either six or eighteen mannose units have been synthesized; encapsulation of the Ru(bipy)3 core alters the rate of energy and electron transfer as well as the lectin biosensing abilities.
