Abstract
Due to their unique structural, physical and chemical properties, cyclodextrins and their derivatives have been of great interest to scientists and researchers in both academia and industry for over a century. Many of the industrial applications of cyclodextrins have arisen from their ability to encapsulate, either partially or fully, other molecules, especially organic compounds. Cyclodextrins are non-toxic oligopolymers of glucose that help to increase the solubility of organic compounds with poor aqueous solubility, can mask odors from foul-smelling compounds, and have been widely studied in the area of drug delivery. In this review, we explore the structural and chemical properties of cyclodextrins that give rise to this encapsulation (i.e., the formation of inclusion complexes) ability. This review is unique from others written on this subject because it provides powerful insights into factors that affect cyclodextrin encapsulation. It also examines these insights in great detail. Later, we provide an overview of some industrial applications of cyclodextrins, while emphasizing the role of encapsulation in these applications. We strongly believe that cyclodextrins will continue to garner interest from scientists for many years to come, and that novel applications of cyclodextrins have yet to be discovered.

Abstract
Chirality plays a crucial role in drug discovery and development. As a result, a significant number of commercially available drugs are structurally dissymmetric and enantiomerically pure. The determination of the exact 3D structure of drug candidates is, consequently, of paramount importance for the pharmaceutical industry in different stages of the discovery pipeline. Traditionally the assignment of the absolute configuration of druggable molecules has been carried out by means of X-ray crystallography. Nevertheless, not all molecules are suitable for single-crystal growing. Additionally, valuable information about the conformational dynamics of drug candidates is lost in the solid state. As an alternative, vibrational optical activity (VOA) methods have emerged as powerful tools to assess the stereochemistry of drug molecules directly in solution. These methods include vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (ROA). Despite their potential, VCD and ROA are still unheard of to many organic and medicinal chemists. Therefore, the present review aims at highlighting the recent use of VOA methods for the assignment of the absolute configuration of chiral small-molecule drugs, as well as for the structural analysis of biologics of pharmaceutical interest. A brief introduction on VCD and ROA theory and the best experimental practices for using these methods will be provided along with selected representative examples over the last five years. As VCD and ROA are commonly used in combination with quantum calculations, some guidelines will also be presented for the reliable simulation of chiroptical spectra. Special attention will be paid to the complementarity of VCD and ROA to unambiguously assess the stereochemical properties of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
This comprehensive study on selected 14 carbohydrates in water solution is an extension of previously published one focused only on solid state analysis. Here, Raman spectroscopy was used as a dedicated method for analysis of carbohydrates in solution, both using a normal effect (RS) and its chiral analogue: Raman Optical Activity spectroscopy (ROA). The compounds were selected as biologically important and representative of all groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, cyclodextrines and polysaccharides. RS and ROA spectra are presented together with an expanded discussion on various structures and conformations of studied carbohydrates in the solution taking into account particular regions, i.e. (1) low wavenumber region (250-600 cm-1), (2) anomeric region (600-950 cm-1), (3) fingerprint region (950-1200 cm-1) and (4) CH2and COH deformations region (1200-1500 cm-1). So, the following information can be obtained about: (1) the absolute configuration of the anomeric centre; (2) the configuration of the anomeric centre and the orientation of the anomeric hydroxyl group; (3) the ring structures and the relative orientation of substituents and (4) the conformation of the exocyclic CH2OH (4), respectively. Raman spectroscopy and Raman Optical Activity were shown as unique tools to study complex structures of carbohydrates.

Abstract
Therapeutic and subtherapeutic use of veterinary drugs has increased the risk of residue contamination in animal food products. Antibiotics such as tetracycline are used for mastitis treatment of lactating cows. Milk expressed from treated cows before the withdrawal period has elapsed may contain tetracycline residue. This study developed a simple surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) method for on-site screening of tetracycline residue in milk and water. Six batches of silver colloid nanoparticles were prepared for surface enhancement measurement. Milk-tetracycline and water-tetracycline solutions were prepared at seven concentration levels (1000, 500, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 ppm) and spiked with silver colloid nanoparticles. A 785 nm Raman spectroscopic system was used for spectral measurement. Tetracycline vibrational modes were observed at 1285, 1317 and 1632 cm-1 in water-tetracycline solutions and 1322 and 1621 cm-1 (shifted from 1317 and 1632 cm-1, respectively) in milk-tetracycline solutions. Tetracycline residue concentration as low as 0.01 ppm was detected in both the solutions. The peak intensities at 1285 and 1322 cm-1 were used to estimate the tetracycline concentrations in water and milk with correlation coefficients of 0.92 for water and 0.88 for milk. Results indicate that this SERS method is a potential tool that can be used on-site at field production for qualitative and quantitative detection of tetracycline residues.

Abstract
Singly and doubly charged adducts of LiCl with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) of the type (βCD)(LiCl)(n)Li(+) and (βCD)2(LiCl)(p)Li2(2+) were studied using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Insight into their structural composition was gained by analysis of their collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra. The conditions the ions experience in the transfer region interfacing the ESI source and the mass analyzer were found to have a marked influence on the nature of the detected ions. In one instrument incorporating a single skimmer, individually attached LiCl ion pairs were observed, whereas the dual funnel ion guides of the second instrument allow the detection of previously unknown labile inclusion complexes of (LiCl)n clusters in βCD.

Abstract
We illustrate the great potential of Raman and ROA spectroscopies for investigating the structure and organisation of glycoproteins and the complex matrices they can form. In combination these spectroscopic techniques are sensitive to changes in conformation revealing details of secondary and tertiary structures, probing hydrogen bonding interactions, as well as resolving side chain orientation and the absolute configuration of chiral substructures. To demonstrate this potential we have characterised the structural changes in a complex glycoprotein, mucin. Spectral changes were observed during the entanglement transition as the mucin concentration was increased. By applying two-dimensional correlation analysis (2DCos) to the ROA and Raman concentration-dependent spectral sets delicate transitions in mucin conformation could also be determined. From ~20-40 mg/ml conformational transitions assigned mainly to the sugar N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc), which is the linking saccharide unit to the protein backbone, were monitored. Further changes in local oligosaccharide conformation above 40 mg/ml were also monitored, together with other structural transitions observed in the protein core, particularly β-structure formation. Consequently, these spectral techniques were shown to monitor the formation of transient entanglements formed by brush-brush interactions between oligosaccharide combs of mucin molecules identifying changes in both carbohydrate and protein moieties. This work clearly shows how these methods can be used to elucidate fresh insights into the complex behaviour of these large complex molecules.

Abstract
Raman and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra are presented for adenosine and seven of its derivative ribonucleotides. Both of these spectroscopic techniques are shown to be sensitive to the site and degree of phosphorylation, with a considerable number of marker bands being identified for these ribonucleotides. ROA spectra are shown to provide the most sensitive diagnostic tool for phosphorylation characterization and quantification.

Abstract
On account of its sensitivity to chirality, Raman optical activity (ROA), which may be measured as a small difference in the intensity of vibrational Raman scattering from chiral molecules in right- and left-circularly polarized incident light, or as the intensity of a small circularly polarized component in the scattered light, is a powerful probe of the structure of biomolecules. Protein ROA spectra provide information on secondary and tertiary structures of polypeptide backbones, backbone hydration and side-chain conformations, and on structural elements present in unfolded states. Carbohydrate ROA spectra provide information on the central features of carbohydrate stereochemistry, especially that of the glycosidic link. Glycoprotein ROA spectra provide information on both the polypeptide and carbohydrate components. This article describes the ROA technique and presents and discusses the ROA spectra of a selection of proteins, carbohydrates, and a glycoprotein. The many structure-sensitive bands in protein ROA spectra are favorable for applying pattern recognition techniques, illustrated here using nonlinear mapping, to determine structural relationships between different proteins.

Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra in the entire 2000-900 cm(-1) region have been recorded, for the first time, for films of carbohydrates prepared from aqueous solutions. Eight different carbohydrates, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-D-glucose, cyclomaltohexaose, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside, beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-D-glucose, beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-D-glucose, D-glucose, and both enantiomers of 6-deoxygalactose and of allose, were investigated. The VCD spectra obtained for films are found to be identical to the corresponding spectra obtained for aqueous solutions of carbohydrates. These measurements demonstrate several advantages of significant importance. The strong infrared absorption of water has prevented, in the past, the pursuit for routine applications of VCD in determining the structures of carbohydrates in aqueous solutions. This limitation is not present for film studies because water solvent is removed in the process of preparing the films. Also, strong infrared absorption of water at 1650 cm(-1) requires the use of very short-pathlength (6 microm) cells for measurements on aqueous solutions. This requirement and concomitant inconveniences (such as laborious assembling of a demountable liquid cell or purchasing an expensive variable pathlength liquid cell) have been eliminated for film measurements. The removal of interfering water absorption in film studies resulted in higher light throughput and better signal-to-noise ratios for VCD measurements. Another point of significance is that the amount of carbohydrate sample required for VCD measurements on films is approximately one to two orders of magnitude smaller than that required for corresponding VCD measurements on aqueous solutions. Since carbohydrate samples can now be studied as films, VCD spectroscopy becomes much more broadly applicable for carbohydrates than previously believed. The present work, in combination with other film measurements in our laboratory, indicate that VCD studies on films can be used more generally, providing a convenient and powerful approach for probing structural information for biologically important compounds.

Abstract
Chiral recognition by cyclodextrins is of considerable importance, especially for pharmaceutical industry, in view of the possible side effects of the second enantiometer of chiral drugs. In general, it manifests itself in all NMR parameters (chemical shifts, coupling constants, NOE and ROE effects, and relaxation rates) on one hand. On the other hand, it allows one to determine the thermodynamic parameters characterizing diastereomeric complexes formed by cyclodextrins with enantiomeric guests. After an introduction and a general discussion of NMR manifestations of chiral recognition by cyclodextrin, the existing literature data on this problem will be discussed herein. Chirality 16:90-105, 2004.

Abstract
Inclusion complexes of several steroid derivatives with beta-cyclodextrin (7) were studied in dimethylsulfoxide solution. The investigated molecules were ketosteroids with different functional groups on the skeleton: 3beta-acetoxypregn-5-en-20-one (1), 3beta-acetoxypregna-5,16-dien-20-one (2), 3beta-acetoxyandrost-5-en-17-one (3), 3beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (4), 5alpha-androstane-3,17-dione (5) and 17beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (6). Complex formation was monitored by two-dimensional ROESY experiments through the detection of intermolecular dipolar interactions. In case of inclusion complex formation, the steroid molecule penetrates the cavity of the cyclodextrin and dipole-dipole interactions (ROEs) can be detected between the glucose H-3 and H-5 protons inside the cyclodextrin cavity and the steroid skeletal protons. Intermolecular interactions were detected in all six cases. However, ROESY experiments provided data indicating only partial immersion (A and B ring of the steroid skeleton) in case of 1, 2 and 6. On the contrary, compounds 3 and 5, showing the most correlation rich spectra, seem to fully immerse in the beta-cyclodextrin cavity.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) measures vibrational optical activity by means of a small difference in the intensity of Raman scattering from chiral molecules in right and left circularly polarized incident laser light. The ROA spectra of a wide range of biomolecules in aqueous solution can now be measured routinely. Because of its sensitivity to the chiral elements of biomolecular structure, ROA provides new information about solution structure and dynamics complementary to that supplied by conventional spectroscopic techniques. This article provides a brief introduction to the theory and practice of ROA spectroscopy followed by a review of recent ROA results on polypeptides, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and viruses which illustrate how new insight into current problems of structure, folding and function may be obtained from ROA studies.

Abstract
Vibrational absorption and circular dichroism (VCD) spectra were obtained for parent cyclodextrins, hydroxyl deuterated alpha-cyclodextrin, cyclodextrin-copper complexes, and for the cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with Methyl Orange, methyloxirane, 1-propanol, and substituted cyclohexanones, in the solution phase. Changes in the VCD spectra, reflecting perturbations of cyclodextrin cavity, were found in the case of an inclusion complex with Methyl Orange, but for the remaining inclusion complexes measurable changes in VCD were not found. Significant changes observed in the VCD spectra of cyclodextrin-copper complexes suggest that the covalent binding of copper ions to the hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin is involved.

Abstract
We report the first observations of vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA) on intact viruses. Specifically, ROA spectra of the filamentous bacteriophages Pf1, M13 and IKe in aqueous solution were measured in the range approximately 600-1800 cm-1. On account of its ability to probe directly the chiral elements of biomolecular structure, ROA has provided a new perspective on the solution structures of these well-studied systems. The ROA spectra of all three are dominated by signatures of helical elements in the major coat proteins, as expected from pre-existing data. The helical elements generate strong sharp positive ROA bands at approximately 1300 and 1342 cm-1in H2O solution, but in2H2O solution the approximately 1342 cm-1bands disappear completely. The spectra are similar to those of polypeptides under conditions that produce alpha-helical conformations. Our present results, together with results from other studies, suggest that the positive approximately 1342 cm-1ROA bands are generated by a highly hydrated form of alpha-helix, and that the positive approximately 1300 cm-1bands originate in alpha-helix in a more hydrophobic environment. The presence of significant amounts of highly hydrated helical sequences accords with the known flexibility of these viruses. Differences of spectral detail for Pf1, M13 and IKe demonstrate that ROA is sensitive to subtle variations of conformation and hydration within the major coat proteins, with M13 and IKe possibly containing more non-helical structure than Pf1. The ROA spectra of Pf1 at temperatures above and below that at which a structural transition is known to occur (approximately 10 degrees C) reveal little difference in the protein conformation between the two forms, but there are indications of changes in DNA structure.

Abstract
The backscattered Raman and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra of poly(rA)-poly(rU) at 20 degrees C and 45 degrees C in buffered aqueous solution between 650 and 1750 cm(-1) are reported. Although the intensity of the majority of the Raman bands increase by varying amounts as the temperature is raised in accordance with the well-known hypochromic effect, the reverse effect is found for the ROA signals which we attribute to thermal accessibility of a greater number of distinct conformations leading to cancellation of ROA signals. The difference ROA spectrum obtained by subtracting the spectrum recorded at 45 degrees C from that recorded at 20 degrees C displays a very similar sign pattern to those at both 20 degrees C and 45 degrees C throughout the spectral region examined. This indicates that the same average structure is maintained in this temperature range and that the thermal fluctuations are correlated through the bases, the glycosidic link, the sugar ring, and the phosphate backbone of both strands. These results indicate that ROA may be a useful new probe of the dynamics of nucleic acid in solution.
