Evaluation of Aromatic Boronic Acids as Ligands for Measuring Diabetes Markers on Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors

Figure 2

Formation of covalent ester bonds between pyrene boronic acid and a 1,2-cis diol. The cis-diol is depicted as a fructosamine-protein adduct. The boronic acid is planar and can therefore only form a bond with planar cis-diols.
