Abstract
In classic bioorthogonal labeling experiments, the cell's biosynthetic machinery incorporates bioorthogonal tags, creating tagged biomolecules that are subsequently reacted with a corresponding bioorthogonal partner. This two-step approach labels biomolecules throughout the organism indiscriminate of cell type, which can produce background in applications focused on specific cell populations. In this review, we cover advances in bioorthogonal chemistry that enable targeting of bioorthogonal labeling to a desired cell type. Such cell-selective bioorthogonal labeling is achieved in one of three ways. The first approach restricts labeling to specific cells by cell-selective expression of engineered enzymes that enable the bioorthogonal tag's incorporation. The second approach preferentially localizes the bioorthogonal reagents to the desired cell types to restrict their uptake to the desired cells. Finally, the third approach cages the reactivity of the bioorthogonal reagents, allowing activation of the reaction in specific cells by uncaging the reagents selectively in those cell populations.

Abstract
Metabolism is the sum of the enzyme-dependent chemical reactions, which produces energy in catabolic process and synthesizes biomass in anabolic process, exhibiting high similarity in mammalian cell, microbial cell, and plant cell. Consequently, the loss or gain of metabolic enzyme activity greatly affects cellular metabolism. Nanozymes, as emerging enzyme mimics with diverse functions and adjustable catalytic activities, have shown attractive potential for metabolic regulation. Although the basic metabolic tasks are highly similar for the cells from different species, the concrete metabolic pathway varies with the intracellular structure of different species. Here, the basic metabolism in living organisms is described and the similarities and differences in the metabolic pathways among mammalian, microbial, and plant cells and the regulation mechanism are discussed. The recent progress on regulation of cellular metabolism mainly including nutrient uptake and utilization, energy production, and the accompanied redox reactions by different kinds of oxidoreductases and their applications in the field of disease therapy, antimicrobial therapy, and sustainable agriculture is systematically reviewed. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of nanozymes in regulating cell metabolism are also discussed, which broaden their application scenarios.

Abstract
Executing glycan editing at a molecular level not only is pivotal for the elucidation of complicated mechanisms involved in glycan-relevant biological processes but also provides a promising solution to potentiate disease therapy. However, the precision control of glycan modification or glyco-editing on a selected glycoprotein is by far a grand challenge. Of note is to preserve the intact cellular glycan landscape, which is preserved after editing events are completed. We report herein a versatile, traceless glycan modification methodology for customizing the glycoforms of targeted proteins (subtypes), by orchestrating chemical- and photoregulation in a protein-selective glycoenzymatic system. This method relies on a three-module, ligand-photocleavable linker-glycoenzyme (L-P-G) conjugate. We demonstrated that RGD- or synthetic carbohydrate ligand-containing conjugates (RPG and SPG) would not activate until after the ligand-receptor interaction is accomplished (chemical regulation). RPG and SPG can both release the glycoenzyme upon photoillumination (photoregulation). The adjustable glycoenzyme activity, combined with ligand recognition selectivity, minimizes unnecessary glycan editing perturbation, and photolytic cleavage enables precise temporal control of editing events. An altered target protein turnover and dimerization were observed in our system, emphasizing the significance of preserving the native physiological niche of a particular protein when precise modification on the carbohydrate epitope occurs.

Abstract
Sugar additions to biomolecules, or glycans, are some of the most abundant biomolecule modifications in biology because they enable cells to adapt to changing nutrient and stress conditions. An unmet challenge for the field of glycobiology is the study of glycan biosynthetic pathways with chemical control, especially in live cell settings. The objective of this study was to create biocompatible glycan precursors with controlled release properties. Here, we report eleven "caged" sugar probes that release glycan biosynthetic precursor molecules upon light exposure. The specific sugar pathways we target with our probes regulate the addition of the N-acetyl sugars GlcNAc, GalNAc, and sialic acid onto biomolecules in cells, each of which has the potential to alter glycan processes involved in cell morphology, signaling, and behavior. We hypothesized that our glycan precursor probes would remain biologically inert until light-initiated decaging conditions were met, avoiding biological activities including metabolism and cytotoxicity. The photocaged analogs of GlcNAc, GalNAc, and ManNAc (sialic acid precursor) sugars, which we call "photo-sugars," were released within minutes of light exposure at their optimal wavelengths. During the course of the study, we characterized the cell compatibility of these sugars under their respective decaging conditions, and found highly cell compatible GlcNAc, GalNAc, and ManNAc photocaged precursors. Release of GlcNAc-1-phosphate precursors led to altered ATP levels in cells, demonstrating preliminary metabolic engineering. We envision these probes as useful additions to the chemical glycobiology field that will enable spatiotemporal control over glycosylation pathways in living mammalian cells.

Abstract
The emergence of optochemical approaches has had a diverse impact over a broad range of biological research due to spatiotemporal regulation. Herein, we integrate this feature into the bioorthogonal chemical reporter strategy, which enables visible light-controlled spatiotemporal labeling of cell-surface glycans, lipids, and proteins. The metabolic precursors were first incorporated into live cells, and next the bioorthogonal reaction converted the azide/alkyne into a photo-active functional group, which allowed for subsequent photo-click reaction. We demonstrated this strategy by specifically labeling sialome, mucin-type O-glycome, phospholipids and newly-synthesized membrane proteins, respectively. The sequential photoirradiation-orthogonal reporter tagging (SPORT) should facilitate the probing of biomolecules in complex biological systems with high spatiotemporal precision.

Abstract
Here we report functional investigation of the radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme BlsE by using cytosylglucuronamide (CGM), which is the amide analog of cytosylglucuronic acid (CGA), an intermediate involved in blasticidin S biosynthesis. We showed that, instead of decarboxylation of CGA reported previously, BlsE catalyzes C4'-dehydrogenation of CGM, and the resulting ketone is acted on by an aminotransferase BlsH to install the C4'-amino group, which uses L-Asp as the amino donor.
