Structure-function analysis of the cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni

The synthesis of complex sugars is a key aspect of microbial biology. Cyclic beta-1,2-glucan (C beta G) is a circular polysaccharide critical for host interactions of many bacteria, including major pathogens of humans (Brucella) and plants (Agrobacterium). ...

Development of Sustainable Carbohydrate-Based Solvents by Acetal Functionalisation of Biomass

Anastasiia Komarova

Organic solvents are ubiquitous in industrial and domestic applications from the production of pharmaceuticals to household consumer products. The negative impact of most traditional solvents, especially aprotic types, on the environment, health, and safet ...

Combining multi-stage ion mobility spectrometry with cryogenic infrared spectroscopy for glycan analysis

Priyanka Bansal

Structural analysis of biomolecules is essential to understanding biological processes. Among the various classes of biomolecules, glycans have gained significant attention recently due to their ubiquitous roles in biological systems. However, study of gly ...

Revealing Single-Bond Anomeric Selectivity in Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions

Oleg Boyarkine, Aleksandr Pereverzev, Ruslan Yamaletdinov, Viktoriia Aladinskaia

The noncovalent binding of proteins to glycans is amazingly selective to the isoforms of carbohydrates, including alpha/beta anomers that coexist in solution. We isolate in the gas phase and study at the atomic level the simplest model system: noncovalent ...

Cryogenic Vibrational Spectroscopy Provides Unique Fingerprints for Glycan Identification

Thomas Rizzo, Michael Zachary Kamrath, Chiara Masellis

The structural characterization of glycans by mass spectrometry is particularly challenging. This is because of the high degree of isomerism in which glycans of the same mass can differ in their stereochemistry, attachment points, and degree of branching. ...

Modeling proton-induced damage on 2-deoxy-D-ribose. Conformational analysis

Pablo Lopez Tarifa

Modeling proton-induced damage in biological systems, in particular in DNA building blocks, is of major concern in studies on cancer proton therapy. This is indeed an extremely complex process and analysis of the mechanism at the molecular level is of cruc ...

Synthesis of C-glycosides and C-linked disaccharides through carbonylative Stille coupling reactions

Peter Steunenberg

In the first part, we described the synthesis of C-(1'→1) and C-(1'→4) disaccharide precursors, which are readily obtained via the carbonylative Stille coupling of glucal and isolevoglucosenone derivatives. Tin glycals and triflates, derived from isolevogl ...

Synthesis of aza-C-disaccharides

Eliazar Rodriguez Garcia

Cell surface oligosaccharides control cell adhesion, fertilization, inflammation, the immune response and metastasis. Their biosynthesis implies sequences of reactions catalysed by glycosidases and glycosyltranferases. Inhibitors of these enzymes are there ...

New 1-amino-1-deoxy- and 2-amino-2-deoxy-polyhydroxyazepanes: synthesis and inhibition of glycosidases

Pierre Vogel, Eliazar Rodriguez Garcia

Eight new seven-membered ring iminoalditols, displaying an amino group and a hydroxymethyl group on the ring, have been synthesized from D-arabinose via epoxidation of a protected azacycloheptene and subsequent nucleophilic opening. Three of them show a po ...
