The singly and doubly hydrated complexes of the α and β anomers of a systematically varied set of monosaccharides, O-phenyl D-gluco-, D-galacto-, L-fuco- and D-xylopyranoside, have been generated in a cold molecular beam and probed through infrared-ultraviolet double resonance ion-dip (IRID) spectroscopy coupled with quantum mechanical calculations. A new 'twist' has been introduced by isotopic substitution, replacing H(2)O by D(2)O to separate the carbohydrate (OH) and hydrate (OD) vibrational signatures and also to relieve spectral congestion. The new spectroscopic and computational results have exposed subtle aspects of the intermolecular interactions which influence the finer details of their preferred structures, including the competing controls exerted by co-operative hydrogen bonding, bi-furcated and OH-π hydrogen bonding, stereoelectronic changes associated with the anomeric effect, and dispersion interactions. They also reassert the operation of general 'working rules' governing conformational change and regioselectivity in both singly and doubly hydrated monosaccharides.

The hyperpolarization of biological samples using dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) has become an attractive method for the monitoring of fast chemical and enzymatic reactions using NMR by taking advantage of a large signal increase. This approach is actively developing but still needs key methodological breakthroughs to be used as an analytical method for the monitoring of complex networks of simultaneous metabolic pathways. In this article, we use the deceptively simple example of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) oxidation reaction by the enzyme G6P dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to discuss some important methodological aspects of dDNP kinetic experiments, such as its robustness and its ability to provide repeatable results as well as the capacity of this time-resolved methodology to test kinetic models and hypotheses and to provide reliable parameter estimates.

Detection of stereoisomers of carbohydrates with molecular resolution, a challenging goal analysts desire to achieve, is key to the full development of glycosciences. Despite the promise that analytical techniques made, including widely used nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry, high throughput carbohydrate sequencing remains an unsolved issue. Notably, while next-generation sequencing technologies are readily available for DNA and proteins, they are conspicuously absent for carbohydrates due to the immense stereochemical and structural complexity inherent in these molecules.

Fapy•dG (N6-(2-deoxy-α,β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine) and 8-OxodGuo (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine) are major products of 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation. Fapy•dG is unusual in that it exists as a dynamic mixture of anomers. Much less is known about the effects of Fapy•dG than 8-OxodGuo on transcriptional bypass.

Hyperthermophilic archaea such as survive under very aggressive environmental conditions by occupying niches inaccessible to representatives of other domains of life. The ability to survive such severe living conditions must be ensured by extraordinarily efficient mechanisms of DNA processing, including repair. Therefore, in this study, we compared kinetics of conformational changes of DNA Endonuclease Q from during its interaction with various DNA substrates containing an analog of an apurinic/apyrimidinic site (F-site), hypoxanthine, uracil, 5,6-dihydrouracil, the α-anomer of adenosine, or 1,-ethenoadenosine.
