Welcome to the Snyder Glycoscience Research Group at Hamilton College
Our research interests lie in the preparation and characterization of designed structures that incorporate unnatural and natural carbohydrate residues. These systems will be used to investigate a number of key carbohydrate interactions of biological interest. The uniting goals of the research projects in our group are:
1. To optimize existing synthetic routes for the preparation of functionalized natural and unnatural carbohydrates.
2. To generate rationally designed structures incorporating natural and/or unnatural carbohydrate residues that can be used to
1. To optimize existing synthetic routes for the preparation of functionalized natural and unnatural carbohydrates.2. To generate rationally designed structures incorporating natural and/or unnatural carbohydrate residues that can be used to study carbohydrate-protein, carbohydrate-DNA, and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions of biological interest.
3. To investigate the functional consequences of the structures described above using state of the art chemical, biochemical and spectroscopic techniques.
