in a membrane preparation of these glands. These were used to synthesise various oligosaccharides by successive addition of the NDP-activated (NDP=nucleoside-5'-diphosphate) D-Gal or L-Fuc moieties, up to a heptasaccharide by starting from the disaccharide D-Gal-beta(1-->3)-D-Gal-beta(1-->OMe. Even larger oligosaccharides up to a tridecasaccharide were obtained by starting with the hexasaccharide D-
Helicidae家族的蜗牛在其蛋白腺中产生高度分支的
半乳聚糖,该
半乳聚糖几乎仅由D-和L-半
乳糖组成。D-Gal残基糖基地通过beta(1-> 6)-或beta(1-> 3)连接,而L-Gal部分则连接alpha(1-> 2)。到目前为止,在这些腺体的膜制剂中已鉴定出两种β(1-> 6)-
D-半乳糖基转移酶和一种α(1-> 2)-L-半
乳糖基转移酶。通过连续添加
NDP活化的(
NDP = nucleoside-5'-diphosphate)D-Gal或L-Fuc部分将它们用于合成各种
寡糖,从二糖D-Gal-beta(1 -> 3)-D-Gal-β(1-> OMe。从六糖D-Gal-β(1-> 3)-D-Gal]4-β(1→4)-D-Glc作为受体底物。这种
串联开发过程具有将D-Gal和L-Fuc残基轻松引入各种
