Efficient Synthesis of L-galactose from D-galactose
摘要:
Racemic protein crystallography is an emerging methodology to obtain high- resolution protein structures. Preparation of both a mirror image of protein and a mirror image of glycan is essential to apply the new methodology to glycoprotein. This article describes an efficient synthesis of L- galactose that is amirror image of D- galactose. The developed method takes only 6 steps from D- galactose without any chromatographic purification.
