1 Introduction Fluorinated glycans offer an instrumental capability for the analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions, principally through isosteric replacement of a sugar ring hydroxyl group that can probe native hydrogen bonding at the binding interface [1-5]. This can identify critical atomic-level requirements and energetics between sugars and protein side chains without the need for extensive protein mutant libraries.

1 Introduction The development of safe and reliable energy storage technologies is important because of the escalating global energy demands and the critical need to integrate renewable energy sources seamlessly. Aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries (AZBs) are an emerging technology with the capability to fulfil this demand and revolutionize the energy storage industry, due to their cost, safety, and scalability compared to lithium-ion technology [1].

1 Introduction The convergence of synthetic biology and materials science has revolutionized the development of living materials, comprising communities of cells (such as bacteria [1], microalgae [2, 3], yeast [4, 5], and fungi [6, 7]) seamlessly integrated into self-regenerating matrices or artificial scaffolds [8].
