Abstract
Professor Shimon Vega (1943-2021) of the Weizmann Institute of Science passed away on the 16-th of November. Shimon Vega established theoretical frameworks to develop and explain solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) techniques and methodologies. His departure left a profound mark on his many students, postdocs, and colleagues. Shortly after his passing, we all assembled spontaneously for an international online meeting to share our reflections and memories of our experiences in Shimon's lab and how they affected us deeply during that period of timeand throughout our scientific careers. These thoughts and feelings were put here into writing.

Abstract
Lactobacilli are valuable strains for commercial (functional) food fermentations. Their cell surface-associated polysaccharides (sPSs) possess important functional properties, such as acting as receptors for bacteriophages (bacterial viruses), influencing autolytic characteristics and providing protection against antimicrobial peptides. The current report provides an elaborate molecular description of several surface carbohydrates of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strain 17. The cell surface of this strain was shown to contain short chain poly(glycerophosphate) teichoic acids and at least two different sPSs, designated here as sPS1 and sPS2, whose chemical structures were examined by 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and methylation analysis. Neutral branched sPS1, extracted with n-butanol, was shown to be composed of hexasaccharide repeating units (-[α-d-Glcp-(1-3)-]-4-β-l-Rhap2OAc-4-β-d-Glcp-[α-d-Galp-(1-3)]-4-α-Rhap-3-α-d-Galp-), while the major component of the TCA-extracted sPS2 was demonstrated to be a linear d-galactan with the repeating unit structure being (-[Gro-3P-(1-6)-]-3-β-Galf-3-α-Galp-2-β-Galf-6-β-Galf-3-β-Galp-).

Abstract
The keyhole technique, which involves the acquisition of dynamic data at low resolution in combination with a high-resolution reference, is developed for the purposes of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging, i.e., Keyhole CEST. Low-resolution data are acquired with saturation applied at different frequencies for Z-spectra, along with a high-resolution reference image taken without saturation. Three methods for high-resolution reconstruction of Keyhole CEST are evaluated using the values from quantitative high-resolution CEST maps. In addition, Keyhole CEST is applied for collection of data used for B(0) correction. The keyhole approach is evaluated for CEST contrast generation using exchanging protons in hydroxyl groups. First, the techniques are evaluated in vitro using samples of dextrose and chondroitin sulfate. Next, the work is extended in vivo to explore its applicability for gagCEST. Comparable quantitative gagCEST values are found using Keyhole CEST, provided the structure or region of interest is not limited by the low-resolution dataset.

Abstract
The lipopolysaccharide was extracted from cells of Hafnia alvei 481-L bacterial strain and, after mild acid hydrolysis, the O-specific polysaccharide was isolated and characterised. On the basis of chemical analyses and NMR spectroscopic studies of the polysaccharide and oligosaccharides obtained after Smith degradation, or hydrogen fluoride treatment, it was found that the repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide is a phosphorylated hexasaccharide: [see text]. The biological repeating unit of the H. alvei 481-L O-antigen has galactose phosphate at the nonreducing terminus. Serological tests indicate that this strain represents an individual serotype in the H. alvei genus.

Abstract
A high resolution two-dimensional solid state NMR experiment is presented that correlates half-integer quadrupolar spins with protons. In this experiment the quadrupolar nuclei evolve during t1 under a split-t1, FAM-enhanced MQMAS pulse scheme. After each t1 period ending at the MQMAS echo position, single quantum magnetization is transferred, via a cross polarization process in the mixing time, from the quadrupolar nuclei to the protons. High-resolution proton signals are then detected in the t2 time domain during wPMLG5* homonuclear decoupling. The experiment has been demonstrated on a powder sample of sodium citrate and 23Na-1H 2D correlation spectra have been obtained. From the HETCOR spectra and the regular MQMAS spectrum, the three crystallographically inequivalent Na+ sites in the asymmetric unit were assigned. This MQMAS-wPMLG HETCOR pulse sequence can be used for spectral editing of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei coupled to protons.

Abstract
Type a flagellins from two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strains PAK and JJ692, were found to be glycosylated with unique glycan structures. In both cases, two sites of O-linked glycosylation were identified on each monomer, and these sites were localized to the central, surface-exposed domain of the monomer in the assembled filament. The PAK flagellin was modified with a heterogeneous glycan comprising up to 11 monosaccharide units that were O linked through a rhamnose residue to the protein backbone. The flagellin of JJ692 was less complex and had a single rhamnose substitution at each site. The role of the glycosylation island gene cluster in the production of each of these glycosyl moieties was investigated. These studies revealed that the orfA and orfN genes were required for attachment of the heterologous glycan and the proximal rhamnose residue, respectively.

Abstract
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core structure was studied in seven rough strains of Proteus and 26 smooth strains belonging to various Proteus O-serogroups. All LPSs share a common heptasaccharide fragment, which includes two Kdo, three Hep, one Glc, and one GalA residue. Core structures differ between strains and within each strain in the presence of a variety of additional monosaccharides and non-sugar substituents. In many strains, the LPS includes a cyclic acetal of GalNAc in the open-chain form, which builds up a new type of linkage between monosaccharides. The covalent linkage of aliphatic polyamines, e.g. putrescine and spermidine, to the LPS was confirmed for the first time and the location of the amines at the carboxyl group of a GalA residue established. Analyses revealed peculiar features of the core structure, which are characteristic of P. mirabilis on one hand and P. vulgaris and P. penneri on the other hand.

Abstract
The core regions of the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae serotypes O1, O2a, O2a,c, O3, O4, O5, O8, and O12 were analysed using NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and chemical methods. All the LPSs had similar core structures, as shown below, differing only in the number and position of beta-D-galacturonic acid substituents: [carbohydrate structure: see text] where P is H or alpha-Hep, J, K is H or beta-GalA. LPS from all serotypes contained varying proportions of structures having additional or missing phosphate substituents. The core from serotype O1 contained a minor amount of a previously described variant with alpha-DD-Hep-(1-->2)-alpha-DD-Hep-(1-->6)-alpha-GlcN-(1--> replacing the alpha-Hep-(1-->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-alpha-GlcN-(1--> component.

Abstract
The polysaccharides from the outer membrane of the Gram-negative ruminal bacterium Fibrobacter succinogenes were isolated by phenol/water extraction and separated by size-exclusion chromatography in the presence of deoxycholate detergent into a lower-molecular-mass fraction designated 'glycolipid' and a high-molecular-mass 'capsular polysaccharide' fraction. Both fractions lacked typical lipopolysaccharide components including 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonic acid and 3-hydroxy fatty acids. Carbohydrate components of these fractions were represented by two polysaccharides and one oligosaccharide (possibly glycolipid) with the following structures: : : where HEAEP is N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethylphosphonic acid, found for the first time in natural compounds. The polysaccharides contained pentadecanoic acid and anteisopentadecanoic acid, possibly present as the acyl components. All constituent monosaccharides except L-rhamnose had a D-configuration. In addition to having a structural role in the outer membrane, these polysaccharides may provide protection for this lipopolysaccharide-less bacterium in the highly competitive ruminal environment, as phosphonic acids covalently linked to membrane polymers have in the past been attributed the function of stabilizing membranes in the presence of phosphatases and lipases.

Abstract
Flavobacterium psychrophilum, a Gram-negative bacterium, is the etiological agent of rainbow trout fry syndrome and bacterial cold water disease, septicemic infections in reared salmonids. In humans Flavobacterium spp. have been associated with neonatal meningitis and septicemia, catheter-associated bacteremia, and pneumonia. Recently, several F. psychrophilum surface molecules, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), have been implicated in its pathogenesis and identified as potential vaccine and diagnostic candidate macromolecules. Studies on the LPS produced by the bacterium are reported herein. The structure of the antigenic O-polysaccharide contained in the LPS of F. psychrophilum was deduced by the application of analytical NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, glycose and methylation analysis, and partial hydrolysis degradations, and was found to be an unbranched polymer of trisaccharide repeating units composed of L-rhamnose (L-Rhap), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-L-fucose (L-FucpNAc) and 2-acetamido-4-((3S,5S)-3,5-dihydroxyhexanamido)-2,4-dideoxy-D-quinovose (D-Quip2NAc4NR, 2-N-acetyl-4-N-((3S,5S)-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoyl)-D-bacillosamine) (1 : 1 : 1) and having the structure: -->4)-alpha-L-FucpNAc-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Quip2NAc4NR-(1-->2)- alpha-L-Rhap-(1--> where R is (3S,5S)-CH3CH(OH)CH2CH(OH)CH2CO-.

The structure of lipid A-core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O3 was determined using NMR, MS and chemical analysis of the oligosaccharides, obtained by mild acid hydrolysis, alkaline deacylation, and deamination of the LPS: [carbohydrate structure see text] where P is H or alpha-Hep; J is H or beta-GalA; R is H or P (in the deacylated oligosaccharides). Screening of the LPS from K. pneumoniae O1, O2, O4, O5, O8, and O12 using deamination showed that they also contain alpha-Hep-(1-->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-GlcN and alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-GlcN fragments.

Abstract
Analysis of the core part of the LPS from several strains of Proteus revealed that P. penneri strains 2, 11, 19, 107, and P. vulgaris serotypes 04 and 08 have the same structure with a new type of linkage between monosaccharidesan open-chain acetal--that was previously determined for P. vulgaris OX2 and P. penneri 17. The LPS from P. penneri strain 40 contains the same structure substituted with one additional monosaccharide: [molecular structure: see text] where (1S)-GalaNAc1 is a residue of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine in the open-chain form. It is connected as a cyclic acetal to positions 4 and 6 of the galactosamine residue having a free amino group. All other sugars are in the pyranose form.

Abstract
The structures of the polysaccharide chains of the LPS from Bordetella bronchiseptica strains 110H and Bp512 were analysed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The polysaccharides consist of alpha-(1-4)-linked 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-L-galacturonic acid repeating units. Polysaccharides from both strains have 2,3, 4-triamino-2,3,4-trideoxy-alpha-galacturonamide derivatives at their nonreducing ends, a monosaccharide identified for the first time in nature. The polymers from the two strains differ in the nature of the acylation of the amino groups of this monosaccharide. In the strain 110H, the residue is formylated at positions 3 and 4, and has N-formyl-L-alanyl or L-alanyl substituents at N-2. In the strain Bp512, the amino group at position 2 is acetylated, at position 3 it is formylated, and the amino group at position 4 bears a 2-methoxypropionyl substituent. The distribution of the acyl groups was determined from long range 1H-13C correlation (HMBC) NMR spectra. Measurement of the spectra under different pH conditions showed that carboxyl groups of the inner uronic acid residues of the polymeric chain are free, and that carboxyl groups of the terminal residues are amidated. These conclusions were confirmed by the results of mass spectrometric analysis.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, phosphoryl substituents in the lipopolysaccharide core region are essential for outer membrane stability. Mutation of the core glucosyltransferase encoded by waaG (formerly rfaG) resulted in lipopolysaccharide truncated immediately after the inner core heptose residues, which serve as the sites for phosphorylation. Surprisingly, mutation of waaG also destabilized the outer membrane. Structural analyses of waaG mutant lipopolysaccharide showed that the cause for this phenotype was a decrease in core phosphorylation, an unexpected side effect of the waaG mutation.

Abstract
A strain of Citrobacter sedlakii showing serological cross-reaction with Escherichia coli O157 antisera was demonstrated to produce a lipopolysaccharide O-antigen having an identical structure with that of the E. coli O157 O-antigen. A strain of Citrobacter freunndii showing similar cross-reaction with E. coli O157 specific monoclonal antibody was shown to produce a lipopolysaccharide O-antigen composed of a trisaccharide repeating unit having the structure [ 2)-alpha-D Rhap-(1-3)-beta-D-Rhap-(1-4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-]. This O-antigen differs from that of the E. coli O157 O-antigen and also lacks a component 2-substituted 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl residue implicated as the common epitope in the lipopolysaccharide O-antigens of previously investigated bacterial species showing serological cross-reactivity with E. coli O157 antisera. The C freundii O-antigen presents an interesting example of structural mimicry within a bacterial polysaccharide antigen.

Abstract
The structure of the core-lipid A region of the lipopolysaccharides from Bordetella hinzii and Bordetella bronchiseptica has been analyzed. Lipopolysaccharides were deacylated using strong alkaline hydrolysis, the products were separated by high performance anion-exchange chromatography and analyzed by NMR and mass spectrometry. The following structure of the products can be deduced from the experimental results: where for the product from Bordetella hinzii N = H, R = H, beta-FucN4N- or partially N-acetylated Sug-(1-3)-beta-FucN4N and for the product from Bordetella bronchiseptica N = alpha-Hep, R = H, beta-FucN4N, beta-FucN4NMe or partially N-acetylated Sug-(1-3)-beta-FucN4N or Sug-(1-3)-beta-FucN4NMe; Sug = 2,3-diamino-2,3, 4-trideoxy-hex-4-enuronopyranosyl.

Abstract
Mannans from genetically modified Pichia pastoris yeast, used for overproduction of neural cell adhesion molecule protein, grown on normal media or on uniformly 13C-labeled glucose and methanol, were isolated and characterized by high-field (750 MHz) NMR spectroscopy. Fully 13C-labeled oligosaccharide fragments were prepared from mannans by acetolysis. According to the data obtained, the mannan is made up of a main chain of alpha-(1-->6)-linked mannopyranosyl residues, substituted at 0-2 with alpha-mannopyranosyl or a alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-beta-D-Manp-(1-->2)-beta-D-Manp-( 1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp- group, and with much lower content of substitution with beta-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-. A fraction of these oligosaccharide side chains is again substituted with alpha-D-Glcp or alpha-D-GlcpNAc through a phosphodiester linkage to the 6 position of the first mannopyranosyl residue. Improved conditions of acetolysis, cleaving all alpha-(1-->6) linkages, but not beta-mannoside linkages, are proposed.

Abstract
The identity of a novel structural component, an open-chain acetalic linkage, in the core part of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Proteus vulgaris serotype OX2 has been determined by extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis of fragments isolated after mild acid hydrolysis of the intact LPS. The open-chain N-acetylgalactosamine fragment is substituted in the 4-position by non-stoichiometric amounts of a beta-galactopyranose residue and the overall structure of the core is as follows: [formula: see text] All sugars except the N-acetylgalactosamine are in the pyranose form, alpha-Hep refers to L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranose and alpha-DDHep to D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranose. Bold italics indicate non-stoichiometric substituents.

Abstract
The structural assignment of the intact lipopolysaccharide core from Proteus mirabilis O27 has been completed based on a combination of chemical degradation studies, NMR spectroscopy and ES-MS spectroscopy. The overall core structure is as follows: [formula: see text] where all sugars are in the pyranose form except the N-acetylglycosamine residue, Hep refers to L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranose and alpha-DDHep to D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranose. Bold italics indicate non-stoichiometric substituents. A new type of glycosidic linkage has been discovered wherein a GalNAc residue is linked as an open form acetal to the 4- and 6-positions of a 2-amino-2-deoxygalactopyranose residue. This structural element is abbreviated GaloNAc-4,6-, where the 'o' indicates the open form of the sugar residue.

Abstract
Proton magic angle spinning (MAS) spectra of a model spin system, consisting of six protons, were calculated for different values of the external magnetic field and the spinning frequencies. Floquet theory was used to evaluate these spectra. The reduction of the effective homonuclear dipolar interaction for increasing spinning frequency was investigated. The influence of an increase of the external magnetic field and the spinning frequencies on the linewidths of the centerband spectra is discussed. This Floquet description of the rotating proton spin system will assist us in our calculations of the CPMAS spin dynamics of a low abundant spin interacting with a set of coupled protons.

Abstract
Separation of the low molecular weight fraction of oligosaccharides from beer and subsequent NMR analysis led to the identification of several new derivatives of trehalose, sucrose, maltooligosaccharides glucosylated at O-2 of reducing end Glc, and linear Glc oligomers with alpha-(1-->3) and alpha-(1-->4)-linkages. Reducing oligosaccharides were labeled with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin by reductive amination, separated according to their molecular weight and the branching pattern was studied using enzymatic (pullulanase) degradation in combination with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and HPLC analysis. It was found that up to DP 10 isomaltooligosaccharides mostly consisted of a linear reducing alpha-(1-->4)-linked Glc chain substituted by single maltose or maltotriose residue at O-6 of any residue except the reducing one.

Abstract
The mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast was studied by high field NMR spectroscopy in an attempt to deduce the structure of the polysaccharide and to assess the ratio of different side chains. The results show that all structural information, agreeing with previously published data, can be extracted by analysis of the NMR spectra of the intact and modified mannan.
