Abstract
Transglycolytic synthesis of 3'-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine by sequenti al use of beta-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans and trans-sialida se from Trypanosoma cruzi was described. These reactions depicted the first complete synthesis of a biologically important oligosaccharide w ith high regioselectivity avoiding use of glycosyltransferases and NDP sugars.
