Enzymic synthesis of monosaccharide-amino acid conjugates

Johansson, Elisabet ; Hedbys, Lars and Larsson, Per-Olof LU (1991) In Enzyme and Microbial Technology 13(10). p.781-787
Abstract
Enzymatic condensation between amino acids and monosaccharides was studied. A screening involving the OH-containing amino acids serine and threonine and the monosaccharide substrates for the enzymes α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, α-galactosidase, α-mannosidase, β-xylosidase, and β-galactosidase was carried out. Enzymatic condensation was observed with α-mannosidase and α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. Products were only detected under reversed hydrolysis conditions, not under transglycosylation conditions with activated substrates. Both l- and d-isomers of the amino acids were substrates for α-mannosidase and α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. A closer investigation of the formation of α-d-Man-(1–3′)-l-Ser and α-d-GalNAc-(1–3′)-l-Ser was carried out... (More)

A closer investigation of the formation of α-d-Man-(1–3′)-l-Ser and α-d-GalNAc-(1–3′)-l-Ser was carried out at 35°C and 55°C, at which temperature the reaction rates were greatly increased. (Less)
