An insulin-sensing sugar-based fluorescent hydrogel

Abstract

We have prepared a small library of amphiphiles, each comprising a polar carbohydrate head group attached through an N-terminal amino acid to a nonpolar pyrene tail group. One of these derivatives is sensitive to the presence of insulin in aqueous media.
