Abstract
Among other classes of biomolecules, carbohydrates and glycoconjugates are widely involved in numerous biological functions. In addition to addressing the related synthetic challenges, glycochemists have invested intense efforts in providing access to structures that can be used to study, activate, or inhibit these biological processes. Over the past few decades, aminooxylated carbohydrates have been found to be key building blocks for achieving these goals. This review provides the first in-depth overview covering several aspects related to the syntheses and applications of aminooxylated carbohydrates. After a brief introduction to oxime bonds and their relative stabilities compared to related C═N functions, synthetic aspects of oxime ligation and methodologies for introducing the aminooxy functionality onto both glycofuranosyls and glycopyranosyls are described. The subsequent section focuses on biological applications involving aminooxylated carbohydrates as components for the construcion of diverse architectures. Mimetics of natural structures represent useful tools for better understanding the features that drive carbohydrate-receptor interaction, their biological output and they also represent interesting structures with improved stability and tunable properties. In the next section, multivalent structures such as glycoclusters and glycodendrimers obtained through oxime ligation are described in terms of synthetic design and their biological applications such as immunomodulators. The second-to-last section discusses miscellaneous applications of oxime-based glycoconjugates, such as enantioselective catalysis and glycosylated oligonucleotides, and conclusions and perspectives are provided in the last section.

Abstract
The use of synthetic oligonucleotides and their mimics to inhibit gene expression by hybridizing with their target sequences has been hindered by their poor cellular uptake and inability to reach the nucleus. Covalent postsynthesis or solid-phase conjugation of peptides to oligonucleotides offers a possible solution to these problems. As feasible chemistry is a prerequisite for biological studies, development of efficient and reproducible approaches for convenient preparation of peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates has become a subject of considerable importance. The present review gives an account of the main synthetic methods available to prepare covalent conjugation of peptides to oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Nucleic acids bearing glycans of various structures have been under vigorous investigation in the past decade. The carbohydrate moieties of such complexes can serve as recognition sites for carbohydrate-binding proteins-lectins-and initiate receptor-mediated endocytosis. Therefore, carbohydrates can enhance cell targeting and internalization of nucleic acids that are associated with them and thus improve the bioavailability of nucleic acids as therapeutic agents. This review summarizes nucleic acid glycosylation in nature and approaches for the preparation of both non-covalently associated and covalently-linked carbohydrate-nucleic acid complexes.

Abstract
During the last decade, cell penetrating peptides (CPP) have been extensively used to mediate the cellular delivery of non-permeant biomolecules, including oligonucleotides (ONs). A covalent linkage between the CPP and the transported ON is required to mediate efficient cell internalization, and a disulfide bridge between the CPP and the ON has been shown to induce the most potent biological response. In this paper, we describe the activation. In a one step process of the sulfhydryl function from a synthon commercially available for ON synthesis. In addition, since the highly cationic nature of currently used CPP caused serious precipitation problems during the coupling step, we further improved the method by adsorbing the crude activated ON on an anion exchange matrix prior to specific peptide coupling.
