L. Panza et al., STEREOSELECTIVE ENZYMATIC GALACTOSYLATION OF C-GLUCOSIDES, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (9), 1997, pp. 1255-1256
The enzyme beta-1,4-galactosyl transferase from bovine colostrum (GalT
) is able stereoselectively to galactosylate C-glucosides (i.e. 1 and
4), precursors of stable glycoconjugate analogues, and a systematic in
vestigation of the structural modifications at C-1 and/or C-5 of the g
lycosides that can be accepted by this enzyme has been undertaken, add
ing information to the currently accepted model of substrate binding i
nto the GalT active site.
