The glycoprotein gp120 is found on the surface of the HIV viron; it is essential for virus entry into cells. Now, an efficient modular synthesis of N-glycans and the preparation of a mixed-glycan array on aluminium-oxide-coated glass slide is described. This is a vital step in understanding the complex compositions of gp120 and thus important for the development of new HIV therapies.
