A. Duffels et al., Chemoenzymatic synthesis of L-galactosylated dimeric sialyl Lewis X structures employing alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase V, BIO MED CH, 8(10), 2000, pp. 2519-2525
L-Galactosylated dimeric sialyl Lewis X (SLe(x)) has been prepared employin
g a combination of chemical and enzymatic synthetic methods. GDP-L-galactos
e has been chemically synthesised. Enzymatic transfer of L-galactose onto t
he acceptor (Sia-alpha 2,3-Gal-beta 1,4-GlcNAc-beta 1,3/6)(2)-Man-alpha 1-O
Me was achieved using the human alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase V. (C) 2000 El
