Glycosidases - a great synthetic tool
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Glycosidases were used to prepare oligosaccharide structures of physiological and medicinal relevance. The study included an extensive screening of crude enzymatic preparations for alpha- and beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-mannosidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-N-acetylgalactosaminidase and alpha-L-fucosidase activities. The enzymes were assessed with respect to regioselectivity of glycosyl transfer on to carbohydrate accepters. The purification procedures for individual biocatalysts are described in detail.
