Abstract
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide found in algae, plays a central role in marine carbon sequestration and exhibits a wide array of bioactivities. However, the molecular diversity and structural complexity of fucoidan hinder precise structure-function studies. To address this, we present an automated method for generating well-defined linear and branched α-fucan oligosaccharides. Our syntheses include oligosaccharides with up to 20 cis-glycosidic linkages, diverse branching patterns, and 11 sulfate monoesters. In this study, we demonstrate the utility of these oligosaccharides by (i) characterizing two endo-acting fucoidan glycoside hydrolases (GH107), (ii) utilizing them as standards for NMR studies to confirm suggested structures of algal fucoidans, and (iii) developing a fucoidan microarray. This microarray enabled the screening of the molecular specificity of four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeting fucoidan. It was found that mAb BAM4 has cross-reactivity to β-glucans, while mAb BAM2 has reactivity to fucoidans with 4-O-sulfate esters. Knowledge of the mAb BAM2 epitope specificity provided evidence that a globally abundant marine diatom, Thalassiosira weissflogii, synthesizes a fucoidan with structural homology to those found in brown algae. Automated glycan assembly provides access to fucoidan oligosaccharides. These oligosaccharides provide the basis for molecular level investigations into fucoidan's roles in medicine and carbon sequestration.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of complex oligosaccharides relies on efficient and highly reproducible glycosylation reactions. The outcome of a glycosylation is contingent upon several environmental factors, such as temperature, acidity, the presence of residual moisture, as well as the steric, electronic, and conformational aspects of the reactants. Each glycosylation proceeds rapidly and with a high yield within a rather narrow temperature range. For better control over glycosylations and to ensure fast and reliable reactions, a systematic analysis of 18 glycosyl donors revealed the effect of reagent concentration, water content, protecting groups, and structure of the glycosyl donors on the activation temperature. With these insights, we parametrize the first step of the glycosylation reaction to be executed reliably and efficiently.

Abstract
Herein we utilise automated glycan assembly to complete solid-phase synthesis of defined heparan sulfate oligosaccharides, employing challenging D-glucuronate disaccharide donors. Using an orthogonally protected D-GlcN-α-D-GlcA donor, milligram-scale synthesis of a heparan sulfate tetrasaccharide is completed in 18% yield over five steps. Furthermore, orthogonal protecting groups enabled regiospecific on-resin 6-O-sulfation. This methodology provides an important benchmark for the rapid assembly of biologically relevant heparan sulfate sequences.

Abstract
Automated glycan assembly (AGA) affords collections of well-defined glycans in a short amount of time. We systematically analyzed how parameters connected to the solid support affect the AGA outcome for three different glycan sequences. We showed that, while loading and reaction scale did not significantly influence the AGA outcome, the chemical nature of the linker dramatically altered the isolated yields. We identified that the major determinants of AGA yields are cleavage from the solid support and post-AGA purification steps.

The synthesis of defined oligosaccharides is a complex task. Several enabling technologies have been introduced in the last two decades to facilitate synthetic access to these valuable biomolecules. In this concept, we describe the technological solutions that have advanced glycochemistry using automated glycan assembly, flow chemistry and data science as examples. We highlight how the synergies between these different technologies can further advance the field, with progress toward the realization of a self-driving lab for glycan synthesis.

Abstract
Automated chemical synthesis has revolutionized synthetic access to biopolymers in terms of simplicity and speed. While automated oligosaccharide synthesis has become faster and more versatile, the parallel synthesis of oligosaccharides is not yet possible. Here, a chemical vapor glycosylation strategy (VaporSPOT) is described that enables the simultaneous synthesis of oligosaccharides on a cellulose membrane solid support. Different linkers allow for flexible and straightforward cleavage, purification, and characterization of the target oligosaccharides. This method is the basis for the development of parallel automated glycan synthesis platforms.

Abstract
![]()
Stapling short peptides
to lock specific conformations and thereby
obtain superior pharmacological properties is well established. However,
similar concepts have not been applied to oligosaccharides. Here,
we describe the design, synthesis, and characterization of the first
stapled oligosaccharides. Automated assembly of β-(1,6)-glucans
equipped with two alkenyl side chains was followed by on-resin Grubbs
metathesis for efficient ring closure with a variety of cross-linkers
of different sizes. Oligosaccharide stapling increases enzymatic stability
and cell penetration, therefore opening new opportunities for the
use of glycans in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is a major health concern due to emerging antibiotic resistance. Along with O1A, O2, and O6A, E. coli O25B is a major serotype within the ExPEC group, which expresses a unique O-antigen. Clinical studies with a glycoconjugate vaccine of the above-mentioned O-types revealed O25B as the least immunogenic component, inducing relatively weak IgG titers. To evaluate the immunological properties of semisynthetic glycoconjugate vaccine candidates against E. coli O25B, we here report the chemical synthesis of an initial set of five O25B glycan antigens differing in length, from one to three repeat units, and frameshifts of the repeat unit. The oligosaccharide antigens were conjugated to the carrier protein CRM197. The resulting semisynthetic glycoconjugates induced functional IgG antibodies in mice with opsonophagocytic activity against E. coli O25B. Three of the oligosaccharide-CRM197 conjugates elicited functional IgGs in the same order of magnitude as a conventional CRM197 glycoconjugate prepared with native O25B O-antigen and therefore represent promising vaccine candidates for further investigation. Binding studies with two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) revealed nanomolar anti-O25B IgG responses with nanomolar K D values and with varying binding epitopes. The immunogenicity and mAb binding data now allow for the rational design of additional synthetic antigens for future preclinical studies, with expected further improvements in the functional antibody responses. Moreover, acetylation of a rhamnose residue was shown to be likely dispensable for immunogenicity, as a deacylated antigen was able to elicit strong functional IgG responses. Our findings strongly support the feasibility of a semisynthetic glycoconjugate vaccine against E. coli O25B.

Abstract
Protective groups that can be selectively removed under mild conditions are an essential aspect of carbohydrate chemistry. Groups that can be selectively removed by visible light are particularly attractive because carbohydrates are transparent to visible light. Here, different BODIPY protecting groups were explored for their utility during glycan synthesis. A BODIPY group bearing a boron difluoride unit is stable during glycosylations but can be cleaved with green light as illustrated by the assembly of a trisaccharide.

Abstract
Carbohydrates hold potential for the future of therapeutic development due to their important role in essential biological processes. However, it is still challenging to produce homogenous materials, especially for non-mammalian sugars that are considered rare. Recent developments in this field have focused on catalytic methods, including organometallic and organocatalytic approaches to regioselective functionalization. Many approaches to glycosylations also utilize catalysts, increasingly in combination with photoredox conditions, to achieve stereoselectivity. Additionally, there have been significant advancements in the automation of glycosylation to synthesize oligosaccharides in less time and with fewer manually conducted steps by the user.

Abstract
Microwave nonthermal effect in chemical reactions is still an uncertain problem. In this work, we have studied the spatial orientation and kinetic energy of reactive site collision between benzyl chloride and piperidine molecules in substitution reaction under microwave irradiation using the molecular dynamics simulation. Our results showed that microwave polarization can change the spatial orientation of reactive site collision. Collision probability between the Cl atom of the C-Cl group of benzyl chloride and the H atom of the N-H group of piperidine increased by up to 33.5% at an effective spatial solid angle (θ, φ) of (100∼110°, 170∼190°) under microwave irradiation. Also, collision probability between the C atom of the C-Cl group of benzyl chloride and the N atom of the N-H group of piperidine also increased by up to 25.6% at an effective spatial solid angle (θ, φ) of (85∼95°, 170∼190°). Moreover, the kinetic energy of collision under microwave irradiation was also changed, that is, for the collision between the Cl atom of the C-Cl group and the H atom of the N-H group, the fraction of high-energy collision greater than 6.39 × 10-19 J increased by 45.9 times under microwave irradiation, and for the collision between the C atom of the C-Cl group and the N atom of the N-H group, the fraction of high-energy collision greater than 6.39 × 10-19 J also increased by 29.2 times. Through simulation, the reaction rate increased by 34.4∼50.3 times under microwave irradiation, which is close to the experimental increase of 46.3 times. In the end, spatial orientation and kinetic energy of molecular collision changed by microwave polarization are summarized as the microwave postpolarization effect. This effect provides a new insight into the physical mechanism of the microwave nonthermal effect.

Abstract
Glycosidic bond formation is a continual challenge for practitioners. Aiming to enhance the reproducibility and efficiency of oligosaccharide synthesis, we studied the relationship between glycosyl donor activation and reaction temperature. A novel semi-automated assay revealed diverse responses of members of a panel of thioglycosides to activation at various temperatures. The patterns of protecting groups and the thiol aglycon combine to cause remarkable differences in temperature sensitivity among glycosyl donor building blocks. We introduce the concept of donor activation temperature to capture experimental insights, reasoning that glycosylations performed below this reference temperature evade deleterious side reactions. Activation temperatures enable a simplified temperature treatment and facilitate optimization of glycosyl donor usage. Isothermal glycosylation below the activation temperature halved the equivalents of building block required in comparison to the standard "ramp" regime used in solution- and solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis to-date.

Abstract
Glycans are usually fluorescently tagged by reductive amination for analytic tools. However, free reducing glycan regeneration is sometimes important and necessary for further structural or functional studies. Here, we introduce a new method for efficiently removing fluorescent tags from glycoconjugates by a simple treatment with Oxone. This method is proven to be fast and general after being tested on a series of common saccharides and widely used tags. We successfully achieved N-glycopeptide synthesis by using the regenerated glycans.

Abstract
Currently, the reaction toolbox for the functionalization of glycans assembled on solid-phase is quite limited. Automated (1 h) and manual (overnight) phosphorylation protocols that enable the solid-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides containing up to two mannose-6-phosphates are presented. Automated glycan assembly expedited access to substrates and facilitated the screening of experimental conditions.
