Efficient inhibition of cell-pathogen interaction to prevent subsequent infection is an urgent but yet unsolved problem. In this study, we developed a new 2D multivalent surface, functionalized with sulfated dendritic polyglycerol (dPG), to enable virus interaction. A simple "graft from" approach enhances the solubility of thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) and provides a suitable 2D surface for multivalent ligand presentation. Polysulfation is used to mimic the heparan sulfate-containing surface of cells and to compete with this natural binding site of viruses. Here, orthopoxvirus strains are used as model viruses as they use heparan sulfate for cell entry. Scanning force microscopy (SFM) showed that the dPGs were successfully grafted to the TRGO sheets, resulting in abundant presence of dPG on the sheets. The newly designed graphene derivatives demonstrate excellent binding as well as efficient inhibition of orthopoxvirus infection.
