Glycosidase-catalyzed Oligosaccharide Synthesis - Preparation of the N-acetylchitooligosaccharides Penta-n-acetylchitopentaose and Hexa-n-acetylchitohexaose Using the Beta-n-acetylhexosaminidase of Aspergillus-oryzae
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Using a crude beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Aspergillus oryzae both tri-N-acetylchitotriose (GlcNAc)(3) (1, n=1) and tetra-N-acetylchitotetraose (GlcNAc)(4) (1, n=2) act respectively as both glycosyl donor and glycosyl acceptor to give product mixtures containing significant quantities of the corresponding penta- and hexasaccharides [1 (n=3) and 1 (n=4), respectively] which are readily isolated and purified by charcoal-Celite chromatography.
