Abstract
Disclosed are fibroblast growth factor (FGF) binding and FGF receptor activation, and a method of identifying small molecular weight compounds that interact with FGF to modulate its activity such as, e.g., activators and inhibitors. Illustrative small oligosaccharides, namely di- and tri-saccharides, are shown to be effective modulators of FGF binding and FGF receptor activation.
