role of GPI anchors is of paramount importance; however, we are still far from fully understanding the structure–function relationship of these molecules. One major limiting factor has been the tiny quantities available from natural sources; obtaining homogeneous and well-defined GPI structures by synthesis, is both a challenge and an attractive goal. We report here the convergent synthesis of the essential
GPI锚的生物学作用至关重要。然而,我们离完全了解这些分子的结构-功能关系还很远。一个主要的限制因素是可从自然资源中获得的微量产品。通过合成获得均质且定义明确的GPI结构,既是挑战,也是诱人的目标。我们在这里报告人类GPI锚点1的基本核心的收敛合成,利用共同的前体获得三糖供体2和新的保护基序列。首次制备的最终产品具有生物活性。
