[PMID: 38925550 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well-established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022. As with previous review, this review also includes a few papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. The review follows the same format as previous reviews. It is divided into three sections: (1) general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, quantification and the use of computer software for structural identification. (2) Applications to various structural types such as oligo- and polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals, and (3) other general areas such as medicine, industrial processes, natural products and glycan synthesis where MALDI is extensively used. Much of the material relating to applications is presented in tabular form. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis, particularly in its ability to produce single ions from each analyte and advancements in the technique and range of applications show little sign of diminishing.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been widely used as platforms for biomolecular sensing because of their high specific surface area and attractive properties depending on their constituents and structures. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to develop nanoparticulate sensing platforms that are easily storable without aggregation and conjugatable with various ligands in a simple manner. Herein, we demonstrate that nanoparticulate assemblies of cello-oligosaccharides with terminal azido groups are promising candidates. Azidated cello-oligosaccharides can be readily synthesized via the enzyme-catalyzed oligomerization reaction. This study characterized the assembled structures of azidated cello-oligosaccharides produced during the enzymatic synthesis and revealed that the terminal azidated cello-oligosaccharides formed rectangular nanosheet-shaped lamellar crystals. The azido groups located on the nanosheet surfaces were successfully exploited for antigen conjugation via the click chemistry. The resultant antigen-conjugated nanosheets allowed for the quantitative and specific detection of a corresponding antibody, even in 10% serum, owing to the antifouling properties of cello-oligosaccharide assemblies against proteins. It was found that the functionalized nanosheets were redispersible in water after freeze-drying. This remarkable characteristic is attributed to the well-hydrated saccharide residues on the nanosheet surfaces. Moreover, the antibody detection capability did not decline after the thermal treatment of the functionalized nanosheets in a freeze-dried state. Our findings contribute to developing convenient nanoparticulate biomolecular sensing platforms.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses derived from natural cellulose sources are promising sustainable nanomaterials. Previous studies have reported that nanocelluloses are strongly adsorbed onto liquid-liquid interfaces with the concurrent use of ligands and allow for the structuring of liquids, that is, the kinetic trapping of nonequilibrium shapes of liquids. However, the structuring of liquids using nanocelluloses alone has yet to be demonstrated, despite its great potential in the development of sustainable liquid-based materials that are biocompatible and environmentally friendly. Herein, we demonstrated the structuring of liquids using rectangular sheet-shaped synthetic nanocelluloses with surface alkyl groups. Synthetic nanocelluloses with ethyl, butyl, and hexyl groups on their surfaces were readily prepared following our previous reports via the self-assembly of enzymatically synthesized cello-oligosaccharides having the corresponding alkyl groups. Among the alkylated synthetic nanocelluloses, the hexylated nanocellulose was adsorbed and jammed at water-n-undecane interfaces to form interfacial assemblies, which acted substantially as an integrated film for structuring liquids. These phenomena were attributed to the unique structural characteristics of the surface-hexylated synthetic nanocelluloses; their sheet shape offered a large area for adsorption onto interfaces, and their controlled surface hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity enhanced the affinity for both liquid phases. Our findings promote the development of all-liquid devices using nanocelluloses.

Abstract
Linear d-glucans are natural polysaccharides of simple chemical structure. They are comprised of d-glucosyl units linked by a single type of glycosidic bond. Noncovalent interactions within, and between, the d-glucan chains give rise to a broad variety of macromolecular nanostructures that can assemble into crystalline-organized materials of tunable morphology. Structure design and functionalization of d-glucans for diverse material applications largely relies on top-down processing and chemical derivatization of naturally derived starting materials. The top-down approach encounters critical limitations in efficiency, selectivity, and flexibility. Bottom-up approaches of d-glucan synthesis offer different, and often more precise, ways of polymer structure control and provide means of functional diversification widely inaccessible to top-down routes of polysaccharide material processing. Here the natural and engineered enzymes (glycosyltransferases, glycoside hydrolases and phosphorylases, glycosynthases) for d-glucan polymerization are described and the use of applied biocatalysis for the bottom-up assembly of specific d-glucan structures is shown. Advanced material applications of the resulting polymeric products are further shown and their important role in the development of sustainable macromolecular materials in a bio-based circular economy is discussed.

Abstract
Polymer fabrics are versatile materials used in various fields. Surface modification methods for hydrophobic polymer fibers have been developed to endow the materials with water wettability and functionality. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to freely introduce functional groups to polymer fiber surfaces in a simple manner. Herein, we report the decoration of nonwoven fabric surfaces with azidated cello-oligosaccharide assemblies via molecular self-assembly. Cello-oligosaccharides with a terminal azido group were enzymatically synthesized and allowed to self-assemble in polyolefin, polyester, and vinylon nonwoven fabrics. It was found that the functional oligosaccharides formed bark-like assemblies on the nonwoven fiber surfaces, probably through heterogeneous nucleation. The hydrophilic oligosaccharide assemblies made the hydrophobic nonwoven surfaces water-wettable. Moreover, the azido group at oligosaccharide terminal was available for the post-functionalization of the modified nonwovens. In fact, an antigen was successfully conjugated to the modified nonwovens via the click chemistry. The antigen-conjugated nonwovens were useful for the specific and quantitative detection of a corresponding antibody. Our findings demonstrate the great potential of cello-oligosaccharide assembly for the functionalization of fabrics and other polymeric materials.

Abstract
Antibacterial materials composed of biodegradable and biocompatible constituents that are produced via eco-friendly synthetic strategies will become an attractive alternative to antibiotics to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, we demonstrated the antibacterial properties of nanosheet-shaped crystalline assemblies of enzymatically synthesized aminated cellulose oligomers (namely, surface-aminated synthetic nanocelluloses) and their synergy with a metal-chelating antibacterial agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Growth curves and colony counting assays revealed that the surface-aminated cellulose assemblies had an antibacterial effect against Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli). The cationic assemblies appeared to destabilize the cell wall of E. coli through electrostatic interactions with anionic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules on the outer membrane. The antibacterial properties were significantly enhanced by the concurrent use of EDTA, which potentially removed metal ions from LPS molecules, resulting in synergistic bactericidal effects. No antibacterial activity of the surface-aminated cellulose assemblies was observed against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus even in the presence of EDTA, further supporting the contribution of electrostatic interactions between the cationic assemblies and anionic LPS to the activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Analysis using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring revealed the attractive interaction of the surface-aminated cellulose assembly with LPS Ra monolayers artificially produced on the device substrate.
