Enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides

Optimization of Enzymatic Synthesis of Isomalto-oligosaccharides Production

Glucosyltransferases can be applied in the synthesis of prebiotic oligosaccharides. Enzymatic synthesis using acceptors can be used to obtain these carbohydrates. When maltose is the acceptor, oligosaccharides containing one maltose moiety and up to eight glucose units linked by a-1,6glycosidic bonds are obtained as the product of dextransucrase acceptor reaction. In this work, the enzymatic sy...

The mechanism of enzymatic synthesis of galactosyl oligosaccharides.

In recent publications, Wallenfels (1) and Aronson (2) have reported that new oligosaccharides are produced during the hydrolysis of lactose by enzyme preparations from bacteria and yeasts. The enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides from lactose has also been observed by Pazur (3) and by Roberts and McFarren (4). It has been suggested (l-3) that the new compounds are the result of transgalacto...

The Enzymatic Synthesis and Disproportionation of Galactosyl Oligosaccharides

Combination of automated solid-phase and enzymatic oligosaccharide synthesis provides access to α(2,3)-sialylated glycans.

A synthetic strategy combining automated solid-phase chemical synthesis and enzymatic sialylation was developed to access α(2,3)-sialylated glycans.

Detailed kinetic model describing new oligosaccharides synthesis using different β-galactosidases.

The production of prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose has been widely studied whereas the synthesis of new prebiotic oligosaccharides with improved properties as those derived from lactulose is receiving an increasing interest. Understanding the mechanism of enzymatic oligosaccharides synthesis from lactulose would help to improve the quality of the products in a rational way a...
