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

Ruslan Yamaletdinov, Aleksandr Pereverzev, 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 ...

Wastewater and green waste biorefinery Degradation of simple sugars using mixed cultures of purple non-sulfur bacteria: an insight into microbial interactions

Guillaume Crosset-Perrotin

Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic organisms that have raised interest for both industrial and domestic wastewater treatment and valorization because of their very high assimilation (~1 g CODX g-1 COD substrate) and valuable compounds produ ...

Cryogenic Vibrational Spectroscopy Provides Unique Fingerprints for Glycan Identification

Thomas Rizzo, Michael Zachary Kamrath, Chiara Masellis, Neelam Khanal

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. ...

Establishing the Catalytic Mechanism of Human Pancreatic α-Amylase with QM/MM Methods

Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez

In this work, we studied the catalytic mechanism of human pancreatic α-amylase (HPA). Our goal was to determine the catalytic mechanism of HPA with atomic detail using computational methods. We demonstrated that the HPA catalytic mechanism consists of two ...

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 ...

Asymmetric synthesis of the polyol subunit of the polyene macrolide antibiotic RK-397

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber, Kai Torsten Meilert

A total asymmetric synthesis of the polyol subunit of the polyene macrolide antibiotic RK-397 was developed through the stereoselective functionalization of (1R,1’S,6S,6’R)-3,3’-methylenebis(cyclohept-3-ene-1,6-diol). The pathway generates a large variety ...

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 ...
