We developed an efficient and mild method for the preparation of boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and the selective separation of fructose from a sample solution was demonstrated for the first time.
Boronate affinity materials, as efficient sorbents for extraction, separation and enrichment of glycoproteins, have attracted more and more attention in recent years.
Biomedical applications and biomarkers for early clinical diagnostics and the treatment of diseases demand efficient and selective enrichment platforms for glycoproteins.
Flavonoids have shown a variety of biological activities such as antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiinflammatory, antitumor, antiatherogenic, and antihyperglycemic activities.
A facile and efficient approach to synthesize boronate affinity ligand-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for specific enrichment of glycoproteins via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) has been developed.
