Abstract:
Recombinant beta-1,4-galactosyltranferase (beta 1,4-GalT) and alpha-2,6-sialytransferase (alpha 2,6-SiaT) immobilised covalently with activated Sepharose beads were employed for the practical synthesis of a trisaccharide derivative, Neu-5Ac alpha(2-->6)Gal beta(1-->4)GlcNAc beta-O-(CH2)6-NH2, on a water-soluble primer having GlcNAc residues through a alpha-chymotrypsin-sensitive linker.
