Peptide-based borono-lectin sensors, along with their synthesis and analysis and methods of use, are generally described. These sensors use peptides as a scaffold and introduce boronic acid moieties onto the peptide scaffold as the binding site for the targeted analyte (e.g., carbohydrates, glycans, etc.). The boronic acid moieties can be arranged on the protein scaffold in such a manner that a particularly targeted carbohydrate or glycoprotein will bond to the protein scaffold via the boronic acid functionality. Such bonding can indicated the presence or absence of that targeted analyte in the sample.
