## Abstract **Changing employment**: Receptor **1** binds β‐__N__‐acetylglucosaminyl (β‐GlcNAc) up to 100 times more strongly than it does glucose. This synthetic lectin shows affinities similar to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), a natural lectin used to bind GlcNAc. Remarkably, **1** is more selectiv
## Abstract **Carbohydrates are slippery customers** in water. Camouflaged by solvent‐mimicking hydroxy groups, they make challenging targets, even for natural receptors. In their Communication on page 1775 ff., A. P. Davis and co‐workers describe a synthetic receptor that is remarkably effective f
