A general approach to glycan‐funtionalized nanodiamond particles is described in which a diamond interface, pre‐modified with perfluorophenylazide moieties, captures unmodified glycans simply upon being activated photochemically. The corresponding glyco‐nanodiamond particles show their expected lectin binding affinities and specificities and, moreover, are effective in inhibiting bacterial adhesion and colonization. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Szunerits et al. on page 307 in Issue 4, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201500229).
