Abstract
The synthesis of N-glycosyl amides typically involves the use of glycosyl amines as direct precursors, resulting in low yields due to hydrolysis and the loss of stereocontrol through anomerization processes. In this study, a sequential synthesis of N-glycosyl amides is proposed, employing glycosyl amines as intermediates obtained from glycosyl azides. Derivatives with gluco, galacto, or xylo configurations were synthesized. Hexose derivatives were obtained under stereocontrol to give only the β anomer, while the xylo derivatives provided a mixture of α and β anomers. Conformational analysis revealed that all β anomers adopted the 4C1 conformation, while α anomers were found in the 1C4 chair as the major conformer. After de-O-acetylation, the derivatives containing a galactose unit were evaluated as inhibitors of β-galactosidase from E. coli and were found to be moderate inhibitors.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is a gaseous messenger involved in neuronal differentiation, development and synaptogenesis, in addition to many other physiological functions. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain an optimal nitric oxide concentration to ensure its biochemical function. A sustained nitric oxide releasing scaffold, which supports neuronal cell differentiation, as determined by morphometric analysis of neurite outgrowth, is described. Moreover, the effect of nitric oxide on the neuroblastoma cell line was also confirmed by immunofluorescent analysis of neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN), specific neuronal marker and neurofilament (NF) protein, which revealed a significant increase in their expression levels, in comparison with undifferentiated cells.

Abstract
This review comprehensively covers the most recent achievements (from 2013) in the successful integration of nanomaterials in the field of glycomics. The first part of the paper addresses the beneficial properties of nanomaterials for the construction of biosensors, bioanalytical devices, and protocols for the detection of various analytes, including viruses and whole cells, together with their key characteristics. The second part of the review focuses on the application of nanomaterials integrated with glycans for various biomedical applications, that is, vaccines against viral and bacterial infections and cancer cells, as therapeutic agents, for in vivo imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, and for selective drug delivery. The final part of the review describes various ways in which glycan enrichment can be effectively done using nanomaterials, molecularly imprinted polymers with polymer thickness controlled at the nanoscale, with a subsequent analysis of glycans by mass spectrometry. A short section describing an active glycoprofiling by microengines (microrockets) is covered as well.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are involved in a variety of biological processes. The ability of sugars to form a large number of hydrogen bonds has made them important components for supramolecular chemistry. We discuss recent advances in the use of carbohydrates in supramolecular chemistry and reveal that carbohydrates are useful building blocks for the stabilization of complex architectures. Systems are presented according to the scaffold that supports the glyco-conjugate: organic macrocycles, dendrimers, nanomaterials, and polymers are considered. Glyco-conjugates can form host-guest complexes, and can self-assemble by using carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions and other weak interactions such as π-π interactions. Finally, complex supramolecular architectures based on carbohydrate-protein interactions are discussed.

Abstract
Folic acid (FA) is a low-molecular-weight micronutrient, which plays a critical role in the prevention of birth defects and cancers. It is also essential for biochemical pathways responsible for DNA synthesis and maintenance and for the generation of new red blood cells. Cellular trafficking of FA and folate is based on its high-affinity binding to cognate folate receptor, a protein commonly expressed in several human cancers. Thus, folate conjugates of drugs, plasmids, biosensors, contrast, and radiodiagnostic imaging agents have been used for assisted delivery in folate receptor-positive cancer cells, via endocytosis pathways. This report describes morphologies of soft structures from a fully characterized FA-dipeptide conjugate and detailed mechanistic studies of its cancer cell uptake, as tracked by the inherent fluorescence of the conjugate.
