TL;DR: In this paper, the acid-resistant phenylsulfonylethylidene (PSE) acetal, d-glucal privileged the additive pathway over the Ferrier I rearrangement when confronted with protic nucleophiles.

TL;DR: A combination of NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods were used to elucidate the conformational preferences of these two PSs and agreements between experimentally measured and calculated distances could only be obtained by considering an averaging of several low energy conformations observed in the molecular models.

TL;DR: In vivo, βMan-SC6H4NO2-p blocked experimental inflammation better than SiaLex, but significantly lower than fucoidan, whereas mannan did not display any P-selectin blocking effect.

TL;DR: This chapter describes how UniLectin can be used to explore the diversity of lectins, their 3D structures, and associated functional information as well as to perform reliable predictions of β-propeller lectins.

TL;DR: The UniLectin3D database as discussed by the authors contains 194 fungal lectin 3D structures, of which 129 are characterized with a carbohydrate ligand, and 109 lectin sequence motifs were defined to screen 1223 species deposited in the genomic portal MycoCosm.
