Abstract
Faced with desiccation stress, many organisms deploy strategies to maintain the integrity of their cellular components. Amorphous glassy media composed of small molecular solutes or protein gels present general strategies for protecting against drying. We review these strategies and the proposed molecular mechanisms to explain protein protection in a vitreous matrix under conditions of low hydration. We also describe efforts to exploit similar strategies in technological applications for protecting proteins in dry or highly desiccated states. Finally, we outline open questions and possibilities for future explorations.

Zheng H. Devitrification of lyoprotectants: A critical determinant for bacteriophages inactivation in freeze-drying and storage. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113307.

Abstract
Bacteriophages as promising natural antibacterial additives are widely used in food processing and storage. Although freeze-drying is an economical and efficient way to preserve phages, so far there is limited data for phage freeze-drying and key factors that inactivate phages during freeze-drying and storage remain unknown. Here we systemically compared different types of saccharides/polyols (dextran 5000, glucose, sucrose, trehalose, mannitol, and xylitol) as lyoprotectants and their potential ratios for phage freeze-drying. The pH and osmotic pressure tolerance of bacteriophages were determined and all lyoprotectant solutions were within the tolerance range of phages. Combined with thermodynamic data, it was found that only completely vitrified formulations (glucose, sucrose, and trehalose) could preserve phages during freeze-drying. Selected freeze-dried phages were further arranged for an accelerated stability study. Most formulations stored at higher temperatures (≥25 ℃) presented devitrification, resulting in a significant drop in phage titer. 10% (w/v) of sucrose was recommended as the best formulation for freeze-dried phage storage with less devitrification and a better fitting coefficient (R2 = 0.9592) to the Arrhenius equation, predictively reaching shelf-time as 1093.3 days at 4 ℃ storage. These findings implied that the devitrification of lyoprotectants was the critical determinant for bacteriophage inactivation both in freeze-drying and storage.

Abstract
Specific surface area (SSA) is an important parameter in drug development that affects other downstream pharmaceutical properties of interest such as reactivity, stability, dissolution, and ultimately bioavailability. Traditionally, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) SSA of pharmaceutical powders is measured via gas adsorption (nitrogen or krypton) that is preceded by a prolonged degassing step under low pressure. This degassing step may not be suitable for certain pharmaceutical hydrates that are susceptible to dehydration and phase transformation under reduced pressure and humidity conditions. Therefore, inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was explored as a reliable alternate technique for determining the SSA of model anhydrate-hydrate systems (trehalose and thiamine hydrochloride) that are prone to such phase transformation during SSA measurement. Both trehalose dihydrate and thiamine HCl non-stoichiometric hydrate were found to undergo partial phase transformation to anhydrous forms during BET analysis via degassing and gas adsorption. In contrast, these hydrates remained stable during surface area analysis using IGC owing to measurements under controlled relative humidity. Thus, IGC proved to be a viable technique for SSA measurement of pharmaceutical hydrates without compromising their physical stability.

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C-STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY 2021; 77:668-674.

Abstract
Methyl β-lactoside [methyl β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranoside] monohydrate, C13H24O11·H2O, (I), was obtained via spontaneous transformation of methyl β-lactoside methanol solvate, (II), during air-drying. Cremer-Pople puckering parameters indicate that the β-D-Galp (β-D-galactopyranosyl) and β-D-Glcp (β-D-glucopyranosyl) rings in (I) adopt slightly distorted 4C1 chair conformations, with the former distorted towards a boat form (BC1,C4) and the latter towards a twist-boat form (O5SC2). Puckering parameters for (I) and (II) indicate that the conformation of the βGalp ring is slightly more affected than the βGlcp ring by the solvomorphism. Conformations of the terminal O-glycosidic linkages in (I) and (II) are virtually identical, whereas those of the internal O-glycosidic linkage show torsion-angle changes of 6° in both C-O bonds. The exocyclic hydroxymethyl group in the βGalp residue adopts a gt conformation (C4' anti to O6') in both (I) and (II), whereas that in the βGlcp residue adopts a gg (gauche-gauche) conformation (H5 anti to O6) in (II) and a gt (gauche-trans) conformation (C4 anti to O6) in (I). The latter conformational change is critical to the solvomorphism in that it allows water to participate in three hydrogen bonds in (I) as opposed to only two hydrogen bonds in (II), potentially producing a more energetically stable structure for (I) than for (II). Visual inspection of the crystalline lattice of (II) reveals channels in which methanol solvent resides and through which solvent might exchange during solvomorphism. These channels are less apparent in the crystalline lattice of (I).

Abstract
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide used to induce labor and prevent bleeding after childbirth. Due to its instability, storage and transport of oxytocin formulations can be problematic in hot/tropical climates. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of trehalose and select antioxidants (uric acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, and l-ascorbic acid) on oxytocin stability in solution. The effect of buffer composition and acetate buffer concentration was also studied. Acetate buffer was found to work better than citrate/phosphate buffer for the oxytocin stability. Lower acetate buffer concentrations (0.025 M or less) were also found to yield improved oxytocin stability compared to higher concentrations. Although known degradation pathways of oxytocin include oxidation, the antioxidants uric acid and butylated hydroxytoluene had negligible effect on the oxytocin stability while l-ascorbic acid led to significantly faster degradation. Despite trehalose's reputation as a great stabilizer for biomolecules, it also had small to negligible effect on oxytocin stability at concentrations up to 1 M in acetate buffer. These results were surprising given the present literature on trehalose as a stabilizer for various biomolecules, including proteins and lipids.

Abstract
Lactose intolerance is a pathology caused by lactase enzyme deficiency, usually produced in the intestinal cells provoking symptoms as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, gas and nausea. Gaxilose, 4-O-β-D galactopyranosyl-d-xylose, is used as a diagnostic drug for a non-invasive method for hypolactasia diagnosis. To date, no definitive guide for identifying gaxilose and distinguishing between crystalline forms is available. Data have been collected from a number of different analytical techniques in order to provide a full characterization of the compound and a simple method to discriminate between two solid forms.

Abstract
Floridoside (2-α-O-D-galactopyranosyl glycerol) is a glycerol glycoside that is biosynthesised by most species of red algae and has been implicated as an intracellular regulator of various homeostatic functions. Here, we report the identification of two unforeseen crystal forms of the ubiquitous natural osmolyte floridoside including a seemingly unheralded second anhydrous conformational polymorph and the unambiguous description of an elusive monohydrated variant. By employing a variety of thermal and spectroscopic techniques, we begin to explore both their macro and molecular physicochemical properties, which are notably different to that of the previously reported polymorph. This work advances the characterisation of this important natural biomolecule which could aid in facilitating optimised utilisation across a variety of anthropocentric applications and improve comprehension of its role in-vivo as a preeminent compatible solute.

Abstract
Organisms with tolerance to extreme environmental conditions (cryptobiosis) such as desiccation and freezing are known to accumulate stress proteins and/or sugars. Trehalose, a disaccharide, has received considerable attention in the context of cryptobiosis. It has already been shown to have the highest glass-transition temperature and different hydration properties from other mono- and disaccharides. In spite of the importance of understanding cryptobiosis by experimentally clarifying sugar-sugar interactions such as the clustering in concentrated sugar solutions, there is little direct experimental evidence of sugar solution structures formed by intermolecular interactions and/or correlation. Using a wide-angle X-ray scattering method with the real-space resolution from ∼3 to 120 Å, we clarified the characteristics of the structures of sugar solutions (glucose, fructose, mannose, sucrose, and trehalose), over a wide concentration range of 0.05-0.65 g/mL. At low concentrations, the second virial coefficients obtained indicated the repulsive intermolecular interactions for all sugars and also the differences among them depending on the type of sugar. In spite of the presence of such repulsive force, a short-range intermolecular correlation was found to appear at high concentrations for every sugar. The concentration dependence of the observed scattering data and p(r) functions clearly showed that trehalose prefers a more disordered arrangement in solution compared to other sugars, that is, bulky arrangement. The present findings will afford a new insight into the molecular mechanism of the protective functions of the sugars relevant to cryptobiosis, particularly that of trehalose.

Abstract
Trehalose crystals exhibit polymorphic, deliquescent, and hydrate-forming traits and can exist in dihydrate, β-anhydrate, or α-anhydrate (isomorphic desolvate) forms. The objective of this study was to identify the relative humidity (RH) and temperature boundaries for phase changes of these different trehalose crystal forms. The deliquescence points (RH0 s) of the anhydrate and dihydrate trehalose crystals were determined from 20 to 50 °C using a combination of water activity and dynamic vapor sorption measurement techniques. Increasing temperatures from 20 to 50 °C resulted in decreases in RH0 from 95.5% to 90.9% RH for the dihydrate and 69.9% to 62.0% RH for the β-anhydrate. The effects of temperature on the anhydrate-hydrate RH boundaries were also determined, using a combination of equilibration in controlled water activity solutions, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. Increasing temperatures resulted in increases in the anhydrate-hydrate RH boundaries. The irreversible β-anhydrate to dihydrate boundary increased from 44.9% to 57.8% RH, and the reversible α-anhydrate to dihydrate boundary increased from 10% to 25% RH, as temperature increased from 20 to 50 °C. This is the first report of an RH-temperautre stability map for crystalline trehalose. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The manuscript addresses the issue of the physical stability and phase transformations of crystalline trehalose stored in different temperature and relative humidity environments. Unwanted hydrate formation or dehydration of crystal hydrates can lead to other undesirable water-solid interactions and/or physical modifications that have the potential to influence product quality and delivery traits. Therefore, this study identified relative humidity and temperature stability boundaries of the different trehalose crystal forms, using a variety of established and novel techniques to create a relative humidity-temperature stability map of crystalline trehalose from 20 to 50 °C.

Abstract
Saccharides, also commonly known as carbohydrates, are ubiquitous biomolecules, but little is known about their interaction with surfaces. Soft-landing electrospray ion beam deposition in conjunction with high-resolution imaging by scanning tunneling microscopy now provides access to the molecular details of the surface assembly of this important class of bio-molecules. Among carbohydrates, the disaccharide trehalose is outstanding as it enables strong anhydrobiotic effects in biosystems. This ability is closely related to the observed polymorphism. In this work, we explore the self-assembly of trehalose on the Cu(100) surface. Molecular imaging reveals the details of the assembly properties in this reduced symmetry environment. Already at room temperature, we observe a variety of self-assembled motifs, in contrast to other disaccharides like e.g. sucrose. Using a multistage modeling approach, we rationalize the conformation of trehalose on the copper surface as well as the intermolecular interactions and the self-assembly behavior. We rationalize the experimentally observed variety of trehalose assemblies on Cu(100) by modeling based on STM images and global optimization.![]()

Abstract
Spatial and temporal characteristics of molecular structure in ternary solutions of trehalose and choline dihydrogen phosphate (CDHP) are studied using molecular dynamics simulations at 300 K for a range of solute concentrations with a 2 : 1 stoichiometric ratio of trehalose to CDHP. For a given molecular configuration, water molecules are classified as interior (only neighboring other water molecules) or interfacial (at least one solute neighbor). As a tagged water molecule diffuses, it dynamically exchanges between interior and interfacial type as its local environment changes, with differences in hydrogen-bond strength between different molecular species creating a persistent preference for interfacial water. At high solute concentrations, interfacial and interior water have similar diffusivity, which allows for water to collectively act as a plasticizer. The percolation threshold for water, defined as the maximum solute concentration at which there still exists a water cluster that spans the simulation box, was found to be slightly under the liquid-glass transition, estimated to be near 84.5% solute concentration based on the onset of a volume hysteresis effect, which was not previously studied in the computational literature. The systems were observed to be highly inhomogeneous, with interlaced percolating networks of water and solute coexisting at intermediate concentrations. The density of interior water was found to decrease with increasing solute concentration, creating low-density regions within the matrix.

Abstract
In this review, we first focus on the mechanism by which the larva of the sleeping chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki, survives an extremely dehydrated state and describe how trehalose and probably late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins work as desiccation protectants. Second, we summarize the solid-state and solution properties of trehalose and discuss why trehalose works better than other disaccharides as a desiccation protectant. Third, we describe the structure and function of two model peptides based on group 3 LEA proteins after a short introduction of native LEA proteins themselves. Finally, we present our conclusions and a perspective on the application of trehalose and LEA model peptides to the long-term storage of biological materials.

Abstract
In this work the physico-chemical properties of selected cryoprotectants (antifreeze protein TrxA-AFP752, trehalose and dimethyl sulfoxide) were correlated with their impact on the constitution of ice and influence on frozen/thawed cell viability. The freezing processes and states of investigated materials solutions were described and explained from a fundamental point of view using ab-initio modelling (molecular dynamics, DFT), Raman spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-Ray Diffraction. For the first time, in this work we correlated the microscopic view (modelling) with the description of the frozen solution states and put these results in the context of human skin fibroblast viability after freezing and thawing. DMSO and AFP had different impacts on their solution's freezing process but in both cases the ice crystallinity size was considerably reduced. DMSO and AFP treatment in different ways improved the viability of frozen/thawed cells.

Abstract
Disaccharide glasses are increasingly used to immobilize proteins at room temperature for structural/functional studies and long-term preservation. To unravel the molecular basis of protein immobilization, we studied the effect of sugar/protein concentration ratios in trehalose or sucrose matrixes, in which the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC) was embedded as a model protein. The structural, dynamical, and H-bonding characteristics of the sugar-protein systems were probed by high-field W-band EPR of a matrix-dissolved nitroxide radical. We discovered that RC immobilization and thermal stabilization, being independent of the protein concentration in trehalose, occur in sucrose only at sufficiently low sugar/protein ratios. EPR reveals that only under such conditions does sucrose form a microscopically homogeneous matrix that immobilizes, via H-bonds, the nitroxide probe. We conclude that the protein immobilization capability depends critically on the propensity of the glass-forming sugar to create intermolecular H-bond networks, thus establishing long-range, homogeneous connectivity within the matrix.

Abstract
(1)H nuclear spin-lattice relaxation and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) have been studied in amorphous samples of trehalose sugar doped with TEMPO radicals by means of mechanical milling, in the 1.6-4.2 K temperature range. The radical concentration was varied between 0.34 and 0.81%. The highest polarization of 15% at 1.6 K, observed in the sample with concentration 0.50%, is of the same order of magnitude of that reported in standard frozen solutions with TEMPO. The temperature and concentration dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1, dominated by the coupling with the electron spins, were found to follow power laws with an exponent close to 3 in all samples. The observed proportionality between 1/T1 and the polarization rate 1/Tpol, with a coefficient related to the electron polarization, is consistent with the presence of Thermal Mixing (TM) and a good contact between the nuclear and the electron spins. At high electron concentration additional relaxation channels causing a decrease in the nuclear polarization must be considered. These results provide further support for a more extensive use of amorphous DNP-ready samples, obtained by means of comilling, in dissolution DNP experiments and possibly for in vivo metabolic imaging.

Abstract
Trehalose, a well-known stress-protector of biomolecules, has been investigated for its effect on the mobility, hydration and hydrogen bond interaction of lactose using diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy and NMR of hydroxy protons. In ternary mixtures of trehalose, lactose and water, the two sugars have the same rate of diffusion. The chemical shifts, temperature coefficients, vicinal coupling constants and ROE of the hydroxy protons in trehalose, lactose and sucrose were measured for the disaccharides alone in water/acetone-d6 solutions as well as in mixtures. The data indicated that addition of trehalose did not change significantly the strength of the hydrogen bond interaction between GlcOH3 and GalO5' in lactose. Small upfield shifts were however measured for all hydroxy protons when the sugar concentration was increased. The chemical shift of the GlcOH3 signal in lactose showed less change, attributed to the spatial proximity to GalO5'. Chemical exchange between hydroxy protons of lactose and trehalose was observed in the ROESY NMR spectra. Similar effects were observed with sucrose indicating no specific effect of trehalose at the concentrations investigated (73 to 763 mg/mL) and suggesting that it is the concentration of hydroxy groups more than the type of sugars which is guiding intermolecular interactions.

Abstract
Immunization using a microneedle patch coated with vaccine offers the promise of simplified vaccination logistics and increased vaccine immunogenicity. This study examined the stability of influenza vaccine during the microneedle coating process, with a focus on the role of coating formulation excipients. Thick, uniform coatings were obtained using coating formulations containing a viscosity enhancer and surfactant, but these formulations retained little functional vaccine hemagglutinin (HA) activity after coating. Vaccine coating in a trehalose-only formulation retained about 40-50% of vaccine activity, which is a significant improvement. The partial viral activity loss observed in the trehalose-only formulation was hypothesized to come from osmotic pressure-induced vaccine destabilization. We found that inclusion of a viscosity enhancer, carboxymethyl cellulose, overcame this effect and retained full vaccine activity on both washed and plasma-cleaned titanium surfaces. The addition of polymeric surfactant, Lutrol® micro 68, to the trehalose formulation generated phase transformations of the vaccine coating, such as crystallization and phase separation, which was correlated to additional vaccine activity loss, especially when coating on hydrophilic, plasma-cleaned titanium. Again, the addition of a viscosity enhancer suppressed the surfactant-induced phase transformations during drying, which was confirmed by in vivo assessment of antibody response and survival rate after immunization in mice. We conclude that trehalose and a viscosity enhancer are beneficial coating excipients, but the inclusion of surfactant is detrimental to vaccine stability.

Abstract
Sugar-based detergents, mostly derived from maltose or glucose, prevail in the extraction, solubilization, stabilization, and crystallization of membrane proteins. Inspired by the broad use of trehalose for protecting biological macromolecules and lipid bilayer structures, we synthesized new trehaloside detergents for potential applications in membrane protein research. We devised an efficient synthesis of four dodecyl trehalosides, each with the 12-carbon alkyl chain attached to different hydroxyl groups of trehalose, thus presenting a structurally diverse but related family of detergents. The detergent physical properties, including solubility, hydrophobicity, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and size of micelles, were evaluated and compared with the most popular maltoside analogue, β-D-dodecyl maltoside (DDM), which varied from each other due to distinct molecular geometries and possible polar group interactions in resulting micelles. Crystals of 2-dodecyl trehaloside (2-DDTre) were also obtained in methanol, and the crystal packing revealed multiple H-bonded interactions among adjacent trehalose groups. The few trehaloside detergents were tested for the solubilization and stabilization of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide receptor (ORL1) and MsbA, which belong to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and ATP-binding cassette transporter families, respectively. Our results demonstrated the utility of trehaloside detergents as membrane protein solubilization reagents with the optimal detergents being protein dependent. Continuing development and investigations of trehaloside detergents are attractive, given their interesting and unique chemical-physical properties and potential interactions with membrane lipids.

Abstract
A microneedle patch coated with vaccine simplifies vaccination by using a patch-based delivery method and targets vaccination to the skin for superior immunogenicity compared to intramuscular injection. Previous studies of microneedles have demonstrated effective vaccination using freshly prepared microneedles, but the issue of long-term vaccine stability has received only limited attention. Here, we studied the long-term stability of microneedles coated with whole inactivated influenza vaccine guided by the hypothesis that crystallization and phase separation of the microneedle coating matrix damages influenza vaccine coated onto microneedles. In vitro studies showed that the vaccine lost stability as measured by hemagglutination activity in proportion to the degree of coating matrix crystallization and phase separation. Transmission electron microscopy similarly showed damaged morphology of the inactivated virus vaccine associated with crystallization. In vivo assessment of immune response and protective efficacy in mice further showed reduced vaccine immunogenicity after influenza vaccination using microneedles with crystallized or phase-separated coatings. This work shows that crystallization and phase separation of the dried coating matrix are important factors affecting long-term stability of influenza vaccine-coated microneedles.

Abstract
This work presents an investigation on the conformational preferences of alpha,alpha-trehalose in gas phase and aqueous solution. Eighty-one systematically selected structures were studied at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, giving rise to 40 unique conformers. The 19 lower energy structures and some selected other were further re-optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The main factors accounting for the conformer's stability were pointed out and discussed. NBO and QTAIM analyses were performed in some selected conformers in order to address the anomeric and exo-anomeric effects as well as intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The effect of solvent water on the relative stability of the conformers was accounted for by applying the conductor-like polarizable continuum model, CPCM.

Abstract
We report Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) measurements performed on samples of carboxy-myoglobin (MbCO) embedded in low-water trehalose glasses. Results showed that, in such samples, "low-protein" trehalose-water domains are present, surrounded by a protein-trehalose-water background; such finding is supported by Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. These domains, which do not appear in the absence of the protein and in analogous sucrose systems, preferentially incorporate the incoming water at the onset of rehydration, and disappear following large hydration. This observation suggests that, in organisms under anhydrobiosis, analogous domains could play a buffering role against the daily variations of the atmospheric moisture. The reported results are rationalized by assuming sizably different protein-matrix coupling in trehalose with respect to sucrose, analogous to the one suggested for the photosynthetic reaction centre from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (F. Francia et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2008, 130, 10240-10246).

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to monitor phase transformations in intact trehalose tablets using FT-Raman spectroscopy. Tablets of trehalose dihydrate, amorphous trehalose (obtained by freeze-drying aqueous trehalose solutions), and anhydrous trehalose (beta-trehalose) were prepared. The tablets were exposed to different conditions [11% and 0% RH (60 degrees C); 75% RH (25 degrees C)] and monitored periodically over 96 h using Raman spectroscopy. Within 96 h of storage, the following phase transformations were observed: (1) trehalose dihydrate-->beta-trehalose (11% RH, 60 degrees C), (2) trehalose dihydrate-->alpha-trehalose (0% RH, 60 degrees C), (3) beta-trehalose-->trehalose dihydrate (75% RH, 25 degrees C), and (4) amorphous trehalose-->trehalose dihydrate (75% RH, 25 degrees C). FT-Raman spectroscopy was a useful technique to identify the solid form and monitor multiple-phase transformations in intact trehalose tablets stored at different conditions.
