GLYCOSIDASES AND GLYCOSYL TRANSFERASES IN GLYCOSIDE AND OLIGOSACCHARIDE SYNTHESIS

Remarkable advances in glycobiology in recent years have stimulated a resurgence of-interest in carbohydrate chemistry. The challenge of pro ducing the complex glycosides and oligosaccharides needed for research in glycobiology has led to the development of enzymatic methods that are now firmly established as part of the synthetic repertoire of the carbohydrate chemist.
