It was envisaged that the blocking of PapG-II, and thus bacterial adhesion, embodies a viable therapeutic alternative to conventional antibiotic treatment. Within our search for potent PapG-II antagonists, we observed an increase in affinity when tetrasaccharide 1, the natural ligand of PapG-II in human kidneys, was elongated to hexasaccharide 2, although the additional Siaalpha(2-3)Gal extension is not in direct contact with the lectin. ITC studies suggest that the increased affinity results from partial desolvation of non-binding regions of the hexasaccharide, and is ultimately connected to the perturbation of outer hydration layers. Our results are in agreement with previous observations and suggest a general mechanism for modulating carbohydrate-protein interactions based on non-binding regions of the ligand.
