Abstract
Cellular glycosylation is characterized by chemical complexity and heterogeneity, which is challenging to reproduce synthetically. Here we show chemoenzymatic synthesis on phage to produce a genetically-encoded liquid glycan array (LiGA) of complex type N-glycans. Implementing the approach involved by ligating an azide-containing sialylglycosyl-asparagine to phage functionalized with 50-1000 copies of dibenzocyclooctyne. The resulting intermediate can be trimmed by glycosidases and extended by glycosyltransferases yielding a phage library with different N-glycans. Post-reaction analysis by MALDI-TOF MS allows rigorous characterization of N-glycan structure and mean density, which are both encoded in the phage DNA. Use of this LiGA with fifteen glycan-binding proteins, including CD22 or DC-SIGN on cells, reveals optimal structure/density combinations for recognition. Injection of the LiGA into mice identifies glycoconjugates with structures and avidity necessary for enrichment in specific organs. This work provides a quantitative evaluation of the interaction of complex N-glycans with GBPs in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Label-free detection of pathogens is of major concern to the microbiologist community. Most procedures require several steps and amplification techniques. Carbohydrates are well-established receptors for host-pathogen interactions, which can be amplified using glycodendritic architectures on the basis of multivalent binding interactions. Given that uropathogenic Escherichia coli bacterial FimH is based on such mannopyranoside-binding interactions, we demonstrate herein that synthetic monomeric and trimeric thiolated α-d-mannosides can be effectively bound to gold substrate-functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) preactivated with maleimide functionalities. Mannosides grafted onto SAMs were followed using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D). Binding recognition efficiency was first evaluated using the plant lectin from Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) also using QCM-D. We showed a direct correlation between the amount of mannoside bound and the lectin attachment. Even though there was less trimer bound (nM/cm2) to the surface, we observed a 7-fold higher amount of lectin anchoring, thus further demonstrating the value of the multivalent interactions. We next examined the relative fimbriated E. coli selective adhesion/capture to either the monomeric or the trimeric mannoside bound to the surface. Our results established the successful engineering of the surfaces to show E. coli adhesion via specific mannopyranoside binding but unexpectedly, the monomeric derivative was more efficient than the trimeric analog, which could be explained by steric hindrance. This approach strongly suggests that it could be broadly applicable to other Gram-negative bacteria sharing analogous carbohydrate-dependent binding interactions.

Abstract
Click chemistry was extensively used to decorate synthetic multivalent scaffolds with glycans to mimic the cell surface glycocalyx and to develop applications in glycosciences. Conjugation methods such as oxime ligation, copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition, thiol-ene coupling, squaramide coupling or Lansbury aspartylation proved particularly suitable to achieve this purpose. This review summarizes the synthetic strategies that can be used either in a stepwise manner or in an orthogonal one-pot approach, to conjugate multiple copies of identical or different glycans to cyclopeptide scaffolds (namely multivalent glycocyclopeptides) having different size, valency, geometry and molecular composition. The second part of this review will describe the potential of these structures to interact with various carbohydrate binding proteins or to stimulate immunity against tumor cells.

Abstract
Through their specific interactions with proteins, cellular glycans play key roles in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. One of the main goals of research in the areas of glycobiology and glycomedicine is to understand glycan-protein interactions at the molecular level. Over the past two decades, glycan microarrays have become powerful tools for the rapid evaluation of interactions between glycans and proteins. In this review, we briefly describe methods used for the preparation of glycan probes and the construction of glycan microarrays. Next, we highlight applications of glycan microarrays to rapid profiling of glycan-binding patterns of plant, animal and pathogenic lectins, as well as other proteins. Finally, we discuss other important uses of glycan microarrays, including the rapid analysis of substrate specificities of carbohydrate-active enzymes, the quantitative determination of glycan-protein interactions, discovering high-affinity or selective ligands for lectins, and identifying functional glycans within cells. We anticipate that this review will encourage researchers to employ glycan microarrays in diverse glycan-related studies.

Abstract
Multivalent ligand-protein interactions are a commonly employed approach by nature in many biological processes. Single glycan-protein interactions are often weak, but their affinity and specificity can be drastically enhanced by engaging multiple binding sites. Microarray technology allows for quick, parallel screening of such interactions. Yet, current glycan microarray methodologies usually neglect defined multivalent presentation. Our laser-based array technology allows for a flexible, cost-efficient, and rapid in situ chemical synthesis of peptide scaffolds directly on functionalized glass slides. Using copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, different monomer sugar azides were attached to the scaffolds, resulting in spatially defined multivalent glycopeptides on the solid support. Studying their interaction with several different lectins showed that not only the spatially defined sugar presentation, but also the surface functionalization and wettability, as well as accessibility and flexibility, play an essential role in such interactions. Therefore, different commercially available functionalized glass slides were equipped with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker to demonstrate its effect on glycan-lectin interactions. Moreover, different monomer sugar azides with and without an additional PEG-spacer were attached to the peptide scaffold to increase flexibility and thereby improve binding affinity. A variety of fluorescently labeled lectins were probed, indicating that different lectin-glycan pairs require different surface functionalization and spacers for enhanced binding. This approach allows for rapid screening and evaluation of spacing-, density-, ligand and surface-dependent parameters, to find optimal lectin binders.

Abstract
Two kinds of tetravalent double-headed sialo-glycosides with short/long spacers between the Neu5Acα2,6Galβ1,4GlcNAc unit and ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) scaffold were found to be capable of binding to virus-like particles of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV-LP). The binding process and time course of interaction between the tetravalent ligand and MCPyV-LP were assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). On the addition of increasing concentrations of ligand to MCPyV-LP, larger cross-linked aggregates formed until a maximum size was reached. The binding was stronger for the tetravalent ligand with a short spacer than for that with a long spacer. The binding of the former ligand to the virus was observed to proceed in two stages during agglutination. The first step was the spontaneous formation of small aggregates comprising the cross-linked ligand-virus complex. In the second step, the aggregates grew successively larger by cooperative binding among the initially produced small aggregates. In transmission electron microscopy, the resulting complex was observed to form aggregates in which the ligands were closely packed with the virus particles. The cross-linked interaction was further confirmed by a simple membrane filtration assay in which the virus-like particles were retained on the membrane when complexed with a ligand. The assay also showed the effective capture of particles of pathogenic, infectious human polyomavirus JCPyV when complexed with a ligand, suggesting its possible application as a method for trapping viruses by filtration under conditions of virus aggregation. Collectively, these results show that the tetravalent glycocluster serves as a ligand not only for agglutinating MCPyV-LP but also for trapping the pathogenic virus.

Abstract
Lectins are ubiquitous carbohydrate-binding proteins that interact with sugar moieties in a highly specific manner. H-type lectins represent a new group of lectins that were identified in invertebrates. These lectins share structural homology and bind mainly to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). Recent structural studies on the H-type lectins provided a detailed description of the GalNAc-lectin interaction that is already exploited in a number of biomedical applications. Two members of the H-type lectin family, Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) and Helix aspersa agglutinin (HAA), have already been extensively used in many diagnostic tests due their ability to specifically recognize GalNAc. This ability is especially important because aberrant glycosylation patterns of proteins expressed by cancer cells contain GalNAc. In addition, H-type lectins were utilized in diagnostics of other non-cancer diseases and represent great potential as components of drug delivery systems. Here, we present an overview of the H-type lectins and their applications in diagnostics, analytics and drug delivery.
