Calcium iodide mediated coupling of complex fluorooligosaccharides to
phenolic peptide
Abstract
Besides serving as therapeutic agents and building blocks for
glycoprotein synthesis, homogeneous synthetic glycopeptides also benefit
understanding function of specific glycoform. However, the selectivity
coupling of oligosaccharides to a given peptide remains challenging
despite the fact that the synthesis of structure-defined complex
oligosaccharides has been greatly facilitated by chemoenzymatic based
approaches. Herein, a Ca2+-promoted glycosylation
approach was developed to exclusively modify phenolic peptide using a
panel of biologically important glycans.
