Abstract:
An LLG-3 oligosaccharide-fluoride can be assembled chemoenzymatically and readily coupled with various sphingosines by an engineered endoglycoceramidase glycosynthase. The lyso-ganglioside products are acylated to generate the individual isomers identified in the heterogeneous natural isolates, as well as modified glycosphingolipids.
