Legionaminic Acid Glycosyltransferases for Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Glycans and Glycoconjugates
Abstract
Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a method for preparing a glycan product containing a nonulosonic acid moiety by means of legionaminic acid transferase fusion proteins
Full Description
Researchers at the University of California Davis have developed a technology that revolves around the method of preparing a glycan product with a nonulosonic acid moiety. It involves the creation of a reaction mixture including a legionaminic acid transferase (LegT), a donor comprising a nonulosonic acid moiety, and a glycan acceptor. This process is performed under conditions for LegT-catalyzed transfer of the nonulosonic acid moiety from the donor to the glycan acceptor to create the glycan product.
