Gal alpha 1-3Gal-pNP was prepared enzymatically from Gal-pNP using alp
ha-galactosidase from coffee beans. PEG was attached after the reducti
on of nitro group into amino group to give Gal alpha 1-3Gal-PEG conjug
ate. After removing the pNP group in Gal alpha 1-3Gal-pNP, the obtaine
d disaccharide was used for the synthesis of Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4
GlcNAc and corresponding trisaccharide-PEG conjugate. (C) 1997, Elsevi
