Abstract
Mucin-1 (MUC1) glycopeptides are exceptional candidates for potential cancer vaccines. However, their autoantigenic nature often results in a weak immune response. To overcome this drawback, we carefully engineered synthetic antigens with precise chemical modifications. To be effective and stimulate an anti-MUC1 response, artificial antigens must mimic the conformational dynamics of natural antigens in solution and have an equivalent or higher binding affinity to anti-MUC1 antibodies than their natural counterparts. As a proof of concept, we have developed a glycopeptide that contains noncanonical amino acid (2S,3R)-3-hydroxynorvaline. The unnatural antigen fulfills these two properties and effectively mimics the threonine-derived antigen. On the one hand, conformational analysis in water shows that this surrogate explores a landscape similar to that of the natural variant. On the other hand, the presence of an additional methylene group in the side chain of this analog compared to the threonine residue enhances a CH/π interaction in the antigen/antibody complex. Despite an enthalpy-entropy balance, this synthetic glycopeptide has a binding affinity slightly higher than that of its natural counterpart. When conjugated with gold nanoparticles, the vaccine candidate stimulates the formation of specific anti-MUC1 IgG antibodies in mice and shows efficacy comparable to that of the natural derivative. The antibodies also exhibit cross-reactivity to selectively target, for example, human breast cancer cells. This investigation relied on numerous analytical (e.g., NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography) and biophysical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the antigen-antibody interactions. This workflow streamlines the synthetic process, saves time, and reduces the need for extensive, animal-intensive immunization procedures. These advances underscore the promise of structure-based rational design in the advance of cancer vaccine development.

Abstract
Chemo- and diastereoselective 1,4-conjugate additions of anionic and radical C-nucleophiles to a chiral bicyclic dehydroalanine (Dha) are described. Of particular importance, radical carbon photolysis by a catalytic photoredox process using a simple method with a metal-free photocatalyst provides exceptional yields and selectivities at room temperature. Moreover, these 1,4-conjugate additions offer an excellent starting point for synthesizing enantiomerically pure carbon-β-substituted unnatural α-amino acids (UAAs), which could have a high potential for applications in chemical biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an inherently quantitative and unbiased analytical technique, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR) provides an excellent method to monitor the quality of food and beverages, and a sensitive and informative tool to study the winemaking process. RESULTS By using NMR, it is possible to monitor quantitative changes in wine metabolites (amino acids, organic acids and some phenolic compounds) during the winemaking process, including wine ageing. This study shows an increase in the concentration of the phenols at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation, as well as a stabilization and slight increase in gallic acid and a slight decrease in resveratrol during the oak barrel ageing step. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the potential of NMR as a process analytical technology (PAT) tool in the wine industry, by monitoring amino acids, organic acids and three polyphenols - gallic acid, catechin and resveratrol - during the winemaking process. This study of the time course evolution of wine has been conducted in a commercial winery rather than an experimental laboratory, demonstrating the capacity of this technique in commercial winemaking production. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Chiral bicyclic N,O-acetal isoserine derivatives have been synthesized by an acid-catalyzed tandem N,O-acetalization/intramolecular transcarbamoylation reaction between conveniently protected l-isoserine and 2,2,3,3-tetramethoxybutane. The delicate balance of the steric interactions between the different functional groups on each possible diastereoisomer controls their thermodynamic stability and hence the experimental product distribution. These chiral isoserine derivatives undergo diastereoselective alkylation at the α position, proceeding with either retention or inversion of the configuration depending on the relative configuration of the stereocenters. Quantum mechanical calculations revealed that a concave-face alkylation is favored due to smaller torsional and steric interactions at the bicyclic scaffold. This synthetic methodology gives access to chiral β2,2-amino acids, attractive compounds bearing a quaternary stereocenter at the α position with applications in peptidomimetic and medicinal chemistry. Thus, enantiopure α-alkylisoserine derivatives were produced upon acidic hydrolysis of these alkylated scaffolds. In addition, α-benzylisoserine was readily transformed into a five-membered ring cyclic sulfamidate, which was ring opened regioselectively with representative nucleophiles to yield other types of enantiopure β2,2-amino acids such as α-benzyl-α-heterofunctionalized-β-alanines and α-benzylnorlanthionine derivatives.

Abstract
Abstractβ-Seleno-α-amino acids, known as selenocysteine (Sec) derivatives, have emerged as important targets because of their role in chemical biology, not only as part of selenoproteins with important redox properties, but also because of their activity as antivirals or metabolites effective in inhibiting carcinogenesis. In addition, there is demand for this type of compounds due to their use in native chemical ligation to construct large peptides. Therefore, this review summarizes the various synthetic methods that have been published to construct Sec derivatives. Most of them involve the generation of the C–Se bond by nucleophilic substitution reactions, but other reactions such as radical or multicomponent strategies are also reported. Of particular importance is the Se-Michael addition of Se-nucleophiles to chiral bicyclic dehydroalanines, in which the stereogenic center is generated under complete stereocontrol.1 Introduction2 Previously Reviewed Synthesis of Sec3 Retrosynthesis of Sec Derivatives4 Sec Derivatives by Nucleophilic Substitutions5 Sec Derivatives by Radical Processes6 Sec Derivatives by 1,4-Conjugate Additions7 Conclusion

A self-immolative
bioorthogonal conditionally cleavable linker
based on Grob fragmentation is described. It is derived from 1,3-aminocyclohexanols
and allows the release of sulfonate-containing compounds in aqueous
media. Modulation of the amine pKa promotes
fragmentation even at slightly acidic pH, a common feature of several
tumor environments. The Grob fragmentation can also occur under physiological
conditions in living cells, highlighting the potential bioorthogonal

Abstract
Immunotherapy, alone or in combination with other therapies, is widely used against cancer. Glycoprotein Mucin 1 (MUC1), which is overexpressed and aberrantly glycosylated in tumor cells, is one of the most promising candidates to engineer new cancer vaccines. In this context, the development of stable antigens that can elicit a robust immune response is mandatory. Here, we describe the design and in vivo biological evaluation of three vaccine candidates based on MUC1 glycopeptides that comprise unnatural elements in their structure. By placing the Tn antigen (GalNAcα-O-Ser/Thr) at the center of the design, the chemical modifications include changes to the peptide backbone, glycosidic linkage, and at the carbohydrate level. Significantly, the three vaccines elicit robust immune responses in mice and produce antibodies that can be recognized by several human cancer cells. In all cases, a link was stablished between the conformational changes induced by the new elements in the antigen presentation and the immune response induced in mice. According to our data, the development of effective MUC1-based vaccines should use surrogates that mimic the conformational space of aberrantly glycosylated MUC1 glycopeptides found in tumors.

Abstract
The first totally chemo- and diastereoselective 1,4-conjugate additions of Se-nucleophiles to a chiral bicyclic dehydroalanine (Dha) are described. The methodology is simple and does not require any catalyst, providing exceptional yields at room temperature, and involves the treatment of the corresponding diselenide compound with NaBH4 in the presence of the Dha. These Se-Michael additions provide an excellent channel for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure selenocysteine (Sec) derivatives, which pose high potential for chemical biology applications.

Abstract
The Tn antigen (GalNAc-α-1-O-Thr/Ser) is a well-known tumor-associated carbohydrate determinant. The use of glycopeptides that incorporate this structure has become a significant and promising niche of research owing to their potential use as anticancer vaccines. Herein, the conformational preferences of a glycopeptide with an unnatural Tn antigen, characterized by a threonine decorated with an sp2-iminosugar-type α-GalNAc mimic, have been studied both in solution, by combining NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, and in the solid state bound to an anti-mucin-1 (MUC1) antibody, by X-ray crystallography. The Tn surrogate can mimic the main conformer sampled by the natural antigen in solution and exhibits high affinity towards anti-MUC1 antibodies. Encouraged by these data, a cancer vaccine candidate based on this unnatural glycopeptide and conjugated to the carrier protein Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) has been prepared and tested in mice. Significantly, the experiments in vivo have proved that this vaccine elicits higher levels of specific anti-MUC1 IgG antibodies than the analog that bears the natural Tn antigen and that the elicited antibodies recognize human breast cancer cells with high selectivity. Altogether, we compile evidence to confirm that the presentation of the antigen, both in solution and in the bound state, plays a critical role in the efficacy of the designed cancer vaccines. Moreover, the outcomes derived from this vaccine prove that there is room for exploring further adjustments at the carbohydrate level that could contribute to designing more efficient cancer vaccines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Edible fats and oils are very important in nutrition and as a main source of energy and are also essential nutrients. There are several methods for the analysis of edible fats and oils, but nowadays nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is emerging as a powerful tool (albeit complex and high-tech demanding) to identify, quantify, and differentiate many types of food, including fats and oils. In this sense, the challenges of this technique are the simplification of methodology and taking advantage of a 400 MHz NMR instrument. RESULTS Through an adequate mixture of solvents, we have developed a methodology to quantify essential parameters in edible fats and oils, including 1,2-diacylglycerol, 1,3-diacylglycerol, and 1-monoacylglycerol, by using a single experiment and without the need for matrix derivatization. CONCLUSION This methodology has been successfully applied to the analysis of olive, sunflower, corn, sesame, and peanut oils, as well as butter, walnut, salmon, and spicy pork sausage. Moreover, the evolution of thermal oxidation and lipolysis of virgin olive oil and sunflower has been analyzed. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The highly diastereoselective 1,4-conjugate additions of several nitrogen nucleophiles to chiral bicyclic dehydroalanines have been assessed effectively at room temperature in good to excellent yields without needing any catalyst or additional base. This methodology is general, simple, oxygen and moisture tolerant, high-yielding, totally chemo- and stereoselective. This procedure offers an efficient and practical approach for the synthesis of Nβ-substituted α,β-diamino acids, such as 1-isohistidine, τ-histidinoalanine, β-benzylaminoalanine, β-(piperidin-1-yl)alanine, β-(azepan-1-yl)alanine, and fluorescent and ciprofloxacin-containing amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
GalNAc-glycopeptides derived from mucin MUC1 are an important class of tumor-associated antigens. α- O-glycosylation forces the peptide to adopt an extended conformation in solution, which is far from the structure observed in complexes with a model anti-MUC1 antibody. Herein, we propose a new strategy for designing potent antigen mimics based on modulating peptide/carbohydrate interactions by means of O → S/Se replacement at the glycosidic linkage. These minimal chemical modifications bring about two key structural changes to the glycopeptide. They increase the carbohydrate-peptide distance and change the orientation and dynamics of the glycosidic linkage. As a result, the peptide acquires a preorganized and optimal structure suited for antibody binding. Accordingly, these new glycopeptides display improved binding toward a representative anti-MUC1 antibody relative to the native antigens. To prove the potential of these glycopeptides as tumor-associated MUC1 antigen mimics, the derivative bearing the S-glycosidic linkage was conjugated to gold nanoparticles and tested as an immunogenic formulation in mice without any adjuvant, which resulted in a significant humoral immune response. Importantly, the mice antisera recognize cancer cells in biopsies of breast cancer patients with high selectivity. This finding demonstrates that the antibodies elicited against the mimetic antigen indeed recognize the naturally occurring antigen in its physiological context. Clinically, the exploitation of tumor-associated antigen mimics may contribute to the development of cancer vaccines and to the improvement of cancer diagnosis based on anti-MUC1 antibodies. The methodology presented here is of general interest for applications because it may be extended to modulate the affinity of biologically relevant glycopeptides toward their receptors.

Abstract
The tumor-associated carbohydrate Tn antigens include two variants, αGalNAc- O-Thr and αGalNAc- O-Ser. In solution, they exhibit dissimilar shapes and dynamics and bind differently to the same protein receptor. Here, we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that their conformational preferences in the gas phase are highly similar, revealing the essential role of water. We propose that water molecules prompt the rotation around the glycosidic linkage in the threonine derivative, shielding its hydrophobic methyl group and allowing an optimal solvation of the polar region of the antigen. The unusual arrangement of αGalNAc- O-Thr features a water molecule bound into a "pocket" between the sugar and the threonine. This mechanism is supported by trapping, for the first time, such localized water in the crystal structures of an antibody bound to two glycopeptides that comprise fluorinated Tn antigens in their structure. According to several reported X-ray structures, installing oxygenated amino acids in specific regions of the receptor capable of displacing the bridging water molecule to the bulk-solvent may facilitate the molecular recognition of the Tn antigen with threonine. Overall, our data also explain how water fine-tunes the 3D structure features of similar molecules, which in turn are behind their distinct biological activities.

Abstract
Starting from commercially available ( S)-isoserine and effectively accessible ( S)-α-methylserine, enantiopure cyclic sulfamidates have been prepared as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of various S- and O-glycosylated amino acid derivatives, including unnatural variants of the Tn antigen, through highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective nucleophilic ring-opening reactions with carbohydrate C1- S- and C1- O-nucleophiles.

Abstract
A structure-based design of a new generation of tumor-associated glycopeptides with improved affinity against two anti-MUC1 antibodies is described. These unique antigens feature a fluorinated proline residue, such as a (4S)-4-fluoro-l-proline or 4,4-difluoro-l-proline, at the most immunogenic domain. Binding assays using biolayer interferometry reveal 3-fold to 10-fold affinity improvement with respect to the natural (glyco)peptides. According to X-ray crystallography and MD simulations, the fluorinated residues stabilize the antigen-antibody complex by enhancing key CH/π interactions. Interestingly, a notable improvement in detection of cancer-associated anti-MUC1 antibodies from serum of patients with prostate cancer is achieved with the non-natural antigens, which proves that these derivatives can be considered better diagnostic tools than the natural antigen for prostate cancer.

Abstract
The use of vaccines based on MUC1 glycopeptides is a promising approach to treat cancer. We present herein several sulfa-Tn antigens incorporated in MUC1 sequences that possess a variable linker between the carbohydrate (GalNAc) and the peptide backbone. The main conformations of these molecules in solution have been evaluated by combining NMR experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. The linker plays a key role in the modulation of the conformation of these compounds at different levels, blocking a direct contact between the sugar moiety and the backbone, promoting a helix-like conformation for the glycosylated residue and favoring the proper presentation of the sugar unit for molecular recognition events. The feasibility of these novel compounds as mimics of MUC1 antigens has been validated by the X-ray diffraction structure of one of these unnatural derivatives complexed to an anti-MUC1 monoclonal antibody. These features, together with potential lack of immune suppression, render these unnatural glycopeptides promising candidates for designing alternative therapeutic vaccines against cancer.

Abstract
A tripartite cancer vaccine candidate, containing a quaternary amino acid (α-methylserine) in the most immunogenic domain of MUC1, has been synthesized and examined for antigenic properties in transgenic mice. The vaccine which is glycosylated with GalNAc at the unnatural amino acid, was capable of eliciting potent antibody responses recognizing both glycosylated and unglycosylated tumour-associated MUC1 peptides and native MUC1 antigen present on cancer cells. The peptide backbone of the novel vaccine presents the bioactive conformation in solution and is more resistant to enzymatic degradation than the natural counter part. In spite of these features, the immune response elicited by the unnatural vaccine was not improved compared to a vaccine candidate containing natural threonine. These observations were rationalized by conformational studies, indicating that the presentation and dynamics of the sugar moiety displayed by the MUC1 derivative play a critical role in immune recognition. It is clear that engineered MUC1-based vaccines bearing unnatural amino acids have to be able to emulate the conformational properties of the glycosidic linkage between the GalNAc and the threonine residues. The results described here will be helpful to the rational design of efficacious cancer vaccines.

Abstract
Rickettsial infections are caused by intracellular bacteria. They do not grow in standard culture media so there are limitations in routine practice to study their metabolism. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used for identification of metabolites in biological samples. Vero cells infected with Rickettsia slovaca as well as uninfected cells were monitored by (1)H NMR showing the presence of ethanol and lactic acid. As no differences were observed, labeled compounds were added into cultures. When D-[1-13C]glucose was monitored by (13)C NMR no differences among infected and uninfected cells were observed in metabolic profiles. Glucose was transformed into ethanol in all cultures. Monitored experiments carried out with [2-13C]glycine showed differences between infected and uninfected cell cultures spectra. Glycine was partially transformed into serine, but the amount of the serine formed was larger in those infected. Moreover, L-[2-13C]leucine, L-[1-13C]isoleucine and L-[15N]tyrosine were evaluated. No differences among infected and uninfected cells were observed in the metabolic profiles when tyrosine and leucine were monitored. The amino acid L-[1-13C]isoleucine exhibited different metabolism in presence of the R. slovaca, showing a promising behavior as biomarker. In this work we focused on finding one or more compounds that could be metabolized specifically by R. slovaca and could be used as an indicator of its activity.

Abstract
The structural features of MUC1-like glycopeptides bearing the Tn antigen (α-O-GalNAc-Ser/Thr) in complex with an anti MUC-1 antibody are reported at atomic resolution. For the α-O-GalNAc-Ser derivative, the glycosidic linkage adopts a high-energy conformation, barely populated in the free state. This unusual structure (also observed in an α-S-GalNAc-Cys mimic) is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the peptidic fragment and the sugar. The selection of a particular peptide structure by the antibody is thus propagated to the carbohydrate through carbohydrate/peptide contacts, which force a change in the orientation of the sugar moiety. This seems to be unfeasible in the α-O-GalNAc-Thr glycopeptide owing to the more limited flexibility of the side chain imposed by the methyl group. Our data demonstrate the non-equivalence of Ser and Thr O-glycosylation points in molecular recognition processes. These features provide insight into the occurrence in nature of the APDTRP epitope for anti-MUC1 antibodies.

Abstract
Tn antigen (α-O-GalNAc-Ser/Thr) is a convenient cancer biomarker that is recognized by antibodies and lectins. This work yields remarkable results for two plant lectins in terms of epitope recognition and reveals that these receptors show higher affinity for Tn antigen when it is incorporated in the Pro-Asp-Thr-Arg (PDTR) peptide region of mucin MUC1. In contrast, a significant affinity loss is observed when Tn antigen is located in the Ala-His-Gly-Val-Thr-Ser-Ala (AHGVTSA) or Ala-Pro-Gly-Ser-Thr-Ala-Pro (APGSTAP) fragments. Our data indicate that the charged residues, Arg and Asp, present in the PDTR sequence establish noteworthy fundamental interactions with the lectin surface as well as fix the conformation of the peptide backbone, favoring the presentation of the sugar moiety toward the lectin. These results may help to better understand glycopeptide-lectin interactions and may contribute to engineer new binding sites, allowing novel glycosensors for Tn antigen detection to be designed.

Abstract
Cys-Xxx-Ser-Xxx-Pro-Cys (Xxx= any amino acid but Pro) is the most common sequence present in naturally occurring peptides and proteins glycosylated with β-O-glucose (β-O-Glc). Taking into account the lack of studies concerning the spatial disposition of this sequence, we have synthesized and analyzed, in aqueous solution, the conformational behavior of peptides and a glycopeptide derived from the particular fragment Cys-Ala-Ser-Ser-Pro-Cys. This sequence is found in the crystal structure of the complex of blood coagulation factor VIIa with soluble tissue factor. Our studies, based on the use of NOESY experiments in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, indicate that for this particular fragment, initially characterized by a type I β-turn motif, the glycosylation with β-O-Glc forces the peptide backbone into an extended conformation. This conformation is stabilized by the presence of both hydrogen bonds and water pockets between the peptide and the sugar moieties.

Abstract
Stereoselective sulfa-Michael addition of appropriately protected thiocarbohydrates to chiral dehydroalanines has been developed as a key step in the synthesis of biologically important cysteine derivatives, such as S-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-cysteine, which has not been synthesized to date, and S-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-cysteine, which could be considered as a mimic of Tn antigen. The corresponding diamide derivative was also synthesized and analyzed from a conformational viewpoint, and its bound state with a lectin was studied.

Abstract
The metabolic pathways of amino acids play a crucial role in the organoleptic and hygienic quality in wines. In particular, histidine is one of the most studied amino acids of wines due to histamine toxicity in humans, a biogenic amine derived from histidine by enzymatic decarboxylation. The development of new tools to increase knowledge on metabolism that produces histamine in wine is critical. This study investigated by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy the transformation of histidine into histaminol and histamine during alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The transformations of histidine into histaminol during alcoholic fermentation and into histamine during malolactic fermentation were observed. This paper highlights the importance of selecting lactic acid bacteria for malolactic fermentation to avoid the production of biogenic amines such as histamine.

Abstract
There are many conventional microbiological methods in routine clinical practice to determine the sensitivity of common bacteria. The problem with these methods arises with bacteria that do not grow on habitual media (Rickettsia spp., Coxiella spp. and Anaplasma spp., among others) and for which there are no standardized techniques to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility. In addition, the techniques that are used for the culture of these fastidious bacteria show problems in both accuracy and reproducibility and, in some cases, the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria shows poor correlation with therapeutic outcome. Therefore, it becomes difficult to determine the antimicrobial drug susceptibility of some bacteria and, thus, to assess the therapeutic effect of drugs. The scientific breakthroughs that have taken place in recent years have allowed the use of new techniques that facilitate and improve microbiological study. This paper reviews the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as an alternative tool for determining antimicrobial drug susceptibility.

Abstract
Using olefin metathesis as a key step, four neoglycoconjugates incorporating α-O-glucose, α-S-glucose or β-S-glucose as a carbohydrate unit and L-serine or L-cysteine as an amino acid moiety have been synthesized. The four-atom carbon spacer allows the carbohydrate to explore a wide-ranging conformational space, which may have important implications for the molecular recognition of these molecules.

Abstract
In this study, La Rioja wine terroir was investigated by the use of (1)H NMR metabolomics on must and wine samples. Rioja is a small wine region in central northern Spain which can geographically be divided into three subareas (Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja, and Rioja Alavesa). The winemaking process from must, through alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, was followed by NMR metabolomics and chemometrics of nine wineries in the Rioja subareas (terroirs). Application of interval extended canonical variate analysis (iECVA) showed discriminative power between wineries which are geographically very close. Isopentanol and isobutanol compounds were found to be key biomarkers for this differentiation.
