Abstract
Mumps virus is one of the main cause of respiratory illnesses in humans, especially children. Among the viral surface glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin - neuraminidase, MuV-HN, plays key roles in virus entry into host cells and infectivity, thus representing an ideal target for the design of novel inhibitors. Here we report the detailed analysis of the molecular recognition of host cell surface sialylated glycans by the viral glycoprotein MuV-HN. By a combined use of NMR, docking, molecular modelling and CORCEMA-ST, the structural features of sialoglycans/MuV-HN complexes were revealed. Evidence for a different enzyme activity toward longer and complex substrates compared to unbranched ligands was also examined by an accurate NMR kinetic analysis. Our results provide the basis for the structure-based design of effective drugs against mumps-induced diseases.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2018 Burkholderia species are a vast group of human pathogenic, phytopathogenic, and plant- or environment-associated bacteria. B. pseudomallei, B. mallei, and B. cepacia complex are the causative agents of melioidosis, glanders, and cystic fibrosis-related infections, respectively, which are fatal diseases in humans and animals. Due to their high resistance to antibiotics, high mortality rates, and increased infectivity via the respiratory tract, B. pseudomallei and B. mallei have been listed as potential bioterrorism agents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Burkholderia species are able to produce a large network of surface-exposed polysaccharides, i.e., lipopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, which are virulence factors, immunomodulators, major biofilm components, and protective antigens, and have crucial implications in the pathogenicity of Burkholderia-associated diseases. This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account regarding the structural elucidation and biological activities of surface polysaccharides produced by Burkholderia species. The chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides mimicking Burkholderia polysaccharides is described in detail. Emphasis is placed on the recent research efforts toward the development of glycoconjugate vaccines against melioidosis and glanders based on synthetic or native Burkholderia oligo/polysaccharides.

Abstract
Molecular modelling provides a major impact in the field of glycosciences, helping in the characterisation of the molecular basis of the recognition between lectins from pathogens and human glycoconjugates, and in the design of glycocompounds with anti-infectious properties. The conformational properties of oligosaccharides are complex, and therefore, the simulation of these properties is a challenging task. Indeed, the development of suitable force fields is required for the proper simulation of important problems in glycobiology, such as the interatomic interactions responsible for oligosaccharide and glycoprotein dynamics, including O-linkages in oligo- and polysaccharides, and N- and O-linkages in glycoproteins. The computational description of representative examples is discussed, herein, related to biologically active oligosaccharides and their interaction with lectins and other proteins, and the new routes open for the design of glycocompounds with promising biological activities.

Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of protein-ligand interactions, which lie at the heart of host-pathogen recognition, represents a crucial step to clarify the molecular determinants implicated in binding events, as well as to optimize the design of new molecules with therapeutic aims. Over the last decade, advances in complementary biophysical and spectroscopic methods permitted us to deeply dissect the fine structural details of biologically relevant molecular recognition processes with high resolution. This Review focuses on the development and use of modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to dissect binding events. These spectroscopic methods, complementing X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling methodologies, will be taken into account as indispensable tools to provide a complete picture of protein-glycoconjugate binding mechanisms related to biomedicine applications against infectious diseases.

Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the bacterium responsible for melioidosis, an infectious disease with high mortality rates. Since melioidosis is a significant public health concern in endemic regions and the organism is currently classified as a potential biothreat agent, the development of effective vaccines and rapid diagnostics is a priority. The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) expressed by B. pseudomallei is a highly conserved virulence factor and a protective antigen. Because of this, CPS is considered an attractive antigen for use in the development of both vaccines and diagnostics. In the present study, we describe the interactions of CPS with the murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4C4 using a multidisciplinary approach including organic synthesis, molecular biology techniques, surface plasmon resonance, and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Using these methods, we determined the mode of binding between mAb 4C4 and native CPS or ad hoc synthesized capsular polysaccharide fragments. Interestingly, we demonstrated that the O-acetyl moiety of CPS is essential for the interaction of the CPS epitope with mAb 4C4. Collectively, our results provide important insights into the structural features of B. pseudomallei CPS that enable antibody recognition that may help the rational design of CPS-based vaccine candidates. In addition, our findings confirm that the mAb 4C4 is suitable for use in an antibody-based detection assay for diagnosis of B. pseudomallei infections.

Abstract
The nature of the relationship between microbes and hosts spans the broad spectrum from beneficial (symbiosis) to pathogenic (disease); one of the key factors determining the establishment of any type of host–microbe interaction is the pattern of glycoconjugates exposed on cell surfaces, many known as virulence factors since they are pivotal for adhesion to host tissue, immunoevasion and immunosuppression, causing disease in the host. The recognition of these pathogen glycostructures by specific host receptors is an important means of immune defense. In this context, NMR represents a valuable tool to investigate the conformational properties of both host/pathogen signaling molecules and to disclose their interaction at a molecular level. This chapter provides an overview of several protein–carbohydrate interaction systems studied by NMR, and their implications in human and plant diseases.
