Using amphiphilic cyclodextrin as a scaffold, the first class of PK-glycoconjugates capable of high avidity binding to both Stx1 and Stx2 toxins in solid-phase assay formats is reported. The generated glycomicroarray effectively mimics the plasma membrane surface while discriminating binding of the two Stx toxins, with unprecedented affinity to Stx2.
