We report on the synthesis and detailed characterization of dendrimers that evolve symmetrically from a linear core of 2-butyne-1,4-diol with 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol based dendron arms. The divergent layer-by-layer build-up of the dumbbell-shaped dendrimers is based on simple acid–base hydrolytic chemistry of bis(dimethylamino)dimethylsilane with OH-terminated molecules. The self-assembly of these dendrimers in THF and water is significantly influenced by their generation number, the backbone structure, and the solvent.Key words: dendrimers, divergent synthesis, macromolecules, self-assembly

ABSTRACT Type a flagellins from two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strains PAK and JJ692, were found to be glycosylated with unique glycan structures. In both cases, two sites of O-linked glycosylation were identified on each monomer, and these sites were localized to the central, surface-exposed domain of the monomer in the assembled filament. The PAK flagellin was modified with a heterogeneous glycan comprising up to 11 monosaccharide units that were O linked through a rhamnose residue to the protein backbone. The flagellin of JJ692 was less complex and had a single rhamnose substitution at each site. The role of the glycosylation island gene cluster in the production of each of these glycosyl moieties was investigated. These studies revealed that the orfA and orfN genes were required for attachment of the heterologous glycan and the proximal rhamnose residue, respectively.
