	abstract = {<p>Two 12-C-glycosyl dodecanoic acids, namely, 1-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-12-dodecanoic acid and 1-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-12-dodecanoic acid were synthesized. Their ability to act as reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of water re-dispersible silver nanoparticles is displayed. These Ag C-glycosyl nanoparticles were later utilized to investigate the carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Furthermore, the specificity of mannoside binding to the surface of the Gram negative bacterium Escherichia coli has been utilized to demonstrate the enhanced antibacterial activity of Ag-C-mannosyl nanoparticles towards this bacterium as compared to Ag-C-glycosyl nanoparticles.</p>},
