Until recently, glycosidases, naturally hydrolyzing carbohydrate-active enzymes, have found
few synthetic applications in industry, being primarily used for cleaving unwanted …

As the importance of the oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins and glycolipids is being
increasingly recognized, efforts to synthesize them are expanding. The number of functional …

The marine ecosystem can be considered a rather unexplored source of biological material
(eg natural substances with therapeutic activity) and can also be a surprising source of …

This contribution will highlight chemoenzymatic approaches to the rather complex task of
stereospecific and regiospecific glycosylation. Advantages and problems associated with …

The aim of this review is to discuss the accomplishments made in the area of the
stereoselective formation of a 1, 2-cis glycosidic bond. Importance of this subject derives …

Publisher Summary Glycosyltransferase-mediated oligosaccharide synthesis is of current
interest in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Although the enzymatic method is regio-and …

Oligosaccharides involved in glycoconjugates play important roles in a number of biological
events. To elucidate the biological functions of oligosaccharides, sufficient quantities of …

The biological interest of oligosaccharides is growing very rapidly, and necessitates the
development of efficient synthesis reactions. The stereo-and regio-selectivity of enzyme …

A new methodology for the preparation of non-natural oligosaccharides has been
developed using various glycosyl fluorides as activated glycosyl donors for enzymatic …

By photosynthesis 200 billion tons of glucose are formed per annum most of which remains
in the sugar state. Thus, the well-known properties of saccharides as the basis for structural …
