Abstract
Natural carbohydrates have complex structures including many kinds of monosaccharide units, which are very difficult and costly to generate by chemical synthetic approaches. Over the years, enzymatic approaches have been gaining popularity for the synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, and it is becoming increasingly feasible to produce complex carbohydrates in large scale, following enzymatic biosynthetic pathways.

Exploring the Role of Chemical Graph Theory in Advancing Current Organic Synthesis
Organic synthesis is a fundamental discipline in chemistry, crucial for the creation of complex molecules with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and beyond. However, the process of designing efficient synthetic routes for target molecules remains challenging. Chemical graph theory, a branch of theoretical chemistry, offers powerful tools for understanding ...read more
Photoswitches for Molecular Recognition
This Special Issue would cover the hot topics on synthesis and chemical and photophysical characterization of new photoswitchable derivatives and their applications on molecular recognition of metabolites and biological active compounds, both in physiological medium and in living cells. Photoswitches are compounds that can change their conformation or properties in ...read more
