Previous N-glycosylation approaches have predominately involved acidic conditions, facing challenges of low stereoselectivity and limited scope. Herein, we introduce a radical activation strategy that enables versatile stereoselective using readily accessible glycosyl sulfinate donors under basic conditions exhibits exceptional tolerance towards various N-aglycones containing alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl nucleobase functionalities. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate pivotal role iodide, which orchestrates the formation from subsequent generation key intermediate, configurationally well-defined is subsequently attacked by an N-aglycone in stereospecific S

Glycans play vital roles in nearly all life processes of multicellular organisms, and understanding these activities is inseparable from elucidating the biological significance glycans. However, glycan research has lagged behind that DNA protein due to challenges posed by structural heterogeneity isomerism (i.e., structures with equal molecular weights) lack high-efficiency analysis techniques. Nanopore technology emerged as a sensitive single-molecule biosensor, shining light on analysis. significant number glycans are small uncharged, making it challenging elicit identifiable nanopore signals.

C-Glycosides are important structures that common to natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Established methods for their synthesis involve the reaction of an activated anomeric carbon. In this study, we report a conceptually new approach involves stereoselective Ni-catalyzed carboboration glycals. these reactions, not only is C–C bond formed at carbon, but synthetically useful C–B also installed. Upon oxidation, differentially protected C-glycosides be formed. addition, stereospecific manipulation leads diverse C-glycosides. Finally, application method in established C-glycosides, such as C-glycosyl amino acids, well strategy make all possible diastereomers C1 C2.

Multivalent interactions between receptors and glycans play an important role in many different biological processes, including pathogen infection, self-recognition, the immune response. The growth number of tools techniques toward assembly multivalent glycoconjugates means it is possible to create synthetic systems that more closely resemble diversity complexity we observe nature. In this Perspective present background recognition binding enabled by nature, discuss strategies used construct glycoconjugate equivalents. We highlight key discoveries current state art their applications glycan arrays, vaccines, other therapeutic diagnostic tools, with outlook some areas believe are most interest for future work area.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a promising tool for drug delivery due to their unique chemical properties that make them biocompatible and easy functionalize. However, when AuNPs introduced into biological systems, they coated by the so-called protein corona (PC), which affects biodistribution limits therapeutic efficacy.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus classified by the World Health Organization as critically important pathogen, which poses significant threat to immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we present chemical synthesis and evaluation of two semisynthetic vaccine candidates targeting capsular polysaccharide glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) C. neoformans. These glycoconjugate vaccines contain an identical synthetic decasaccharide (M2 motif) antigen. This antigen in serotype A strains, constitute 95% clinical cryptococcosis cases. oligosaccharide was conjugated proteins (CRM197 Anthrax 63 kDa PA) tested for immunogenicity mice. The conjugates elicited specific antibody response that bound M2 motif but also exhibited additional cross-reactivity toward M1 M4 GXM motifs. Both glycoconjugates produced antibodies ELISA assays live fungal cells. Mice immunized with CRM197 weakly opsonic displayed trends increased median survival relative mice given mock PBS injection (18 vs 15 days, p = 0.06). findings indicate promise, achieving successful demands further optimization glycoconjugate. could serve component multivalent vaccine.

Glycans decorate all cells and are critical mediators of cellular processes through recognition by glycan-binding proteins (GBPs). While targeting glycan–protein interactions has great therapeutic potential, these challenging to study as they generally transient exhibit low binding affinities. Glycan-based photo-crosslinkable probes have enabled covalent capture identification unknown GBP receptors glycoconjugate ligands. Here, we review recent progress in photo-crosslinking approaches glycan-mediated interactions. We discuss two prominent emerging strategies: 1) development oligosaccharide ligands identify receptors; 2) cell-surface glyco-engineering GBPs. Overall, photoaffinity labeling affords valuable insights into complex networks is poised help elucidate the interactome, providing novel targets for intervention.

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide found in algae, plays central role marine carbon sequestration and exhibits wide array of bioactivities. However, the molecular diversity structural complexity fucoidan hinder precise structure–function studies. To address this, we present an automated method for generating well-defined linear branched α-fucan oligosaccharides. Our syntheses include oligosaccharides with up to 20 cis-glycosidic linkages, diverse branching patterns, 11 sulfate monoesters. In this study, demonstrate utility these by (i) characterizing two endo-acting glycoside hydrolases (GH107), (ii) utilizing them as standards NMR studies confirm suggested structures algal fucoidans, (iii) developing microarray. This microarray enabled screening specificity four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeting fucoidan. It was that mAb BAM4 has cross-reactivity β-glucans, while BAM2 reactivity fucoidans 4-O-sulfate esters. Knowledge epitope provided evidence globally abundant diatom, Thalassiosira weissflogii, synthesizes homology those brown algae.

Abstract The chemical synthesis of complex oligosaccharides relies on efficient and highly reproducible glycosylation reactions. outcome a is contingent upon several environmental factors, such as temperature, acidity, the presence residual moisture, well steric, electronic, conformational aspects reactants. Each proceeds rapidly with high yield within rather narrow temperature range. For better control over glycosylations to ensure fast reliable reactions, systematic analysis 18 glycosyl donors revealed effect reagent concentration, water content, protecting groups, structure activation temperature. With these insights, we parametrize first step reaction be executed reliably efficiently.

Here, shown what synthetic can offer in form of multienzyme cascades for synthesis most basic new materials-chemicals, including especially designer chemical products and their analogs. Since achieving this predicated on dramatically expanding space that enzymes access, such chemistry will probably be undertaken cell-free or minimalist formats overcome inherent toxicity non-natural substrates living cells. Laying out relevant aspects need considered design multi-enzymatic these purposes begun. Representative multienzymatic are critically reviewed, which have been specifically developed compounds either made only by traditional along with those utilized novel compound syntheses.
