A wide variety of well-defined multivalent peptides and proteins can be made by conjugating synthetic peptides and recombinantly expressed proteins to cysteine-functionalized dendrimers using native chemical ligation (see picture). This modular approach provides access to dendrimers that are attractive both for understanding fundamental issues of multivalency in biological interactions as well as for biomedical applications.
