The synthesis of d- and l-glycero-alpha-manno-thioheptopyranosides, protected with 4,6-O-alkylidene-type acetals is described. In glycosylations carried out with preactivation with the 1-benzenesulfin...
A fully stereocontrolled block synthesis of the title tetra- and hexasaccharides has been achieved taking advantage of the ability of the 4,6-O-benzylidene acetal to control the stereochemistry of the...
The 2-deoxy analogue of 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosonic acid (2-deoxy-beta-KDO, 2) is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase, which is involved in ...
[reaction: see text] A chemoenzymatic synthesis of ADP-D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose (ADP-D,D-Hep) is described in which D,D-Hep 7-phosphate is converted to ADP-D,D-Hep by two biosynthetic enzymes. T...
The enzyme 3-deoxy-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase (CMP-KDO synthetase; CKS) catalyzes the activation of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (or 2-keto-3-deoxy-manno-octonic acid; KDO) by forming CMP...
Two competitive inhibitors of beta-D-galactosidase activity, namely, 2,6-anhydro-S-[ethylmercury(II)]-1-thio-D-glycero-L-manno-heptitol (4) and bis(2,6-anhydro-1-thio-D-glycero-L-manno-heptitol)mercur...
