Abstract
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.
