Advances in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry have dramatically improved access to
common glycans. However, many novel methods still fail to adequately address challenges …

The structural complexity of glycans poses a serious challenge in the chemical synthesis of
glycosides, oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Glycan complexity, determined by …

The synthesis, characterization and biological application of mannose encapsulated gold
nanoparticles (m-AuNP) are reported. m-AuNP is well dispersed and very stable without …

The HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120 takes advantage of the high‐mannose clusters on its
surface to target the C‐type lectin dendritic cell‐specific intracellular adhesion molecule‐3 …

Are the liquid crystalline properties of the materials of living systems important in biological
structures, functions, diseases and treatments? There is a growing consciousness that the …

The synthesis of 1, 5-anhydrohexitol nucleosides is described. These nucleoside analogues
were obtained by alkylation of the heterocyclic bases with the tosylate 10 or by alkylation of …

Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process energizing carbon dioxide fixation in the biosphere, is …

ABSTRACT A convenient, highly efficient, one-pot, three-step procedure has been
developed for the synthesis of peracetylated glycal derivatives from various reducing sugars …

Glycoamidases (peptide-N 4-(N-acetyl-ॆ-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase, EC 3.5. 1.52;
also known as peptide: N-glycanases (PNGases) release N-linked oligosaccharides from …

Presented herein is the discovery that bismuth (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (Bi (OTf) 3) is
an effective catalyst for the activation of glycosyl bromides and glycosyl chlorides. The key …
