The ins and outs of binding : Supramolecular control of carbohydrate–protein interactions has been achieved through the design of β‐cyclodextrin (βCD) based conjugates whose conformation is dependent on a reversible self‐inclusion process. The accessibility of glycoligands to the lectin binding site is then regulated by allosteric inclusion of effector/antagonist‐like molecules in the βCD cavity (see scheme).
