An efficient method for the direct and covalent decoration of granules of nanostructured apatite with a sample monosaccharide is presented: the hydroxyapatite material was directly functionalised with a short azido-containing spacer arm, to which alpha-propargyl glucopyranoside has been chemoselectively ligated by Huisgen-type cycloaddition. The 'glycosylated' hydroxypatite was characterised by its ability to interact with glucose recognising lectins. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
