COMPOSICOES DE SACARIDEOS,PROCESSOS E APARELHOS PARA SUA SINTESE

摘要

Processes for preparing oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and other saccharide compositions are provided which involve the enzyme facilitated transfer of a preselected saccharide unit from a donor moiety to an acceptor moiety. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, saccharide compositions having a plurality of saccharide units are prepared by appending the saccharide units in iterative fashion to acceptor moieties which are themselves saccharide compositions prepared in accordance with this invention.
