A novel type of artificial glycoprotein was developed, by using dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and methotrexate (MTX) as a protein-ligand pair. Various oligosaccharides linked to MTX were shown to bind tightly with DHFR and afforded oligosaccharide-grafted protein, which could be isolated easily by lectin beads.
