In this unit, a method is described that allows construction of multiantennary oligonucleotide glycoconjugates on a solid support. A bis(hydroxymethyl)malondiamide-based phosphoramidite that contains two phthaloyl-protected aminooxy groups compatible with normal chain assembly is prepared. The aminooxy functions can be deblocked with a hydrazinium acetate treatment and subsequently oximated on-support with fully acetylated 4-oxobutyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. The resulting reagent is then used to prepare a conjugate containing two non-nucleosidic building blocks (i.e., four alpha-D-mannopyranosyl units) close to the 5' terminus of the oligonucleotide.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) exhibit prebiotic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties and confer significant benefits to infants. Branched HMOs are constructed through diverse glycosidic linkages and prominently feature the lacto-N-biose (LNB, Gal-β1,3-GlcNAc) motif with fucose and/or sialic acid modifications, displaying structural complexity that surpasses that of N- and O-glycans. However, synthesizing comprehensive libraries of branched HMO is challenging due to this complexity.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the major health problems worldwide, mostly develops from colorectal adenomas. Advanced adenomas are generally considered as precancerous lesions and patients are recommended to remove the adenomas. Screening for colorectal cancer is usually performed by fecal tests (FOBT or FIT) and colonoscopy, however, their benefits are limited by uptake and adherence.

An ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to examine the gas-phase structures of a set of glycopeptides resulting from proteolytic digestion of the well-characterized glycoproteins bovine ribonuclease B, human transferrin, bovine fetuin and human α-acid glycoprotein, the corresponding deglycosylated peptides, and the glycans released by the endoglycosidase PNGase F. When closely related glycoforms did not occur naturally, exoglycosidases were used to achieve stepwise removal of individual saccharide units from the nonreducing termini of the multiantennary structures. Collision cross sections (CCS) were calculated and plotted as a function of mass-to-charge ratio.

Glycodendrimers are relatively novel synthetic biomacromolecules that are made of biologically relevant carbohydrate ligands constructed at the periphery of a wide range of highly functionalized and repetitive scaffolds having varied molecular weights and structures. They were aimed to fill the gap between glycopolymers, having generally dispersed higher molecular weight, and small glycoclusters, in the study of multivalent carbohydrate protein interactions. In a way, glycodendrimers, with their spheroidal or dendritic (wedge) type structures, were initially designed as bioisosteres of cell surface multiantennary glycans.
