Abstract excerpt
Triterpenoids with desired glycosylation patterns have attracted considerable attention as potential therapeutics for inflammatory diseases and various types of cancer. Sugar-hydrolyzing enzymes with high substrate specificity would be far more efficient than other methods for the synthesis of such specialty triterpenoids, but they are yet to be developed. Here we present a strategy to rationally design a...
