Abstract excerpt
Glycans bearing modified hydroxyl groups are common in biology but because these modifications are added after assembly, enzymes are not available for the transfer and coupling of hydroxyl-modified monosaccharide units. Access to such enzymes could be valuable, particularly if they can also introduce 'bio-orthogonal tags'. Glycosynthases, mutant glycosidases that synthesize glycosides using glycosyl fluoride...
