Selective detection of epimeric pentose saccharides at physiological pH using a fluorescent receptor

- This research aimed to specifically detect ribofuranoside carbohydrates.
- Fluorescent boronic acid probes identified that specifically detect ribofuranoside.
- Concentration dependent detection of ribofuranoside with 3-biphenylboronic acid.
- Determination of the affinity of the probe for ribofuranoside.
