Chemo- and enzymatic synthesis of partially and fully N -deacetylated 4-methylumbelliferyl chitobiosides: Fluorogenic substrates for chitinase
摘要:
Partially and fully N-deacetylated 4-methylumberlliferyl chitobioside (1) derivatives, such as GlcN-GlcNAc-UMB (2), GlcNAc-GlcN-UMB (3), and (GlcN)(2)-UMB (4), were synthesized using chemo- and enzymatic procedure. Fluorescent aglycon was released from the chitobiosides 1, 2 and 3 by the action of chitinase. These UMB glycosides of hererochitobiose were versatile probes for the investigation of substrate binding chitinase from various sources. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
