Unlocking Endless Possibilities through Enzymatic Construction of Oligosaccharide Library

Oligosaccharide libraries are a prerequisite for the construction of oligosaccharide microarrays. CD BioGlyco has a professional Glycan Display Platform and provides custom Oligosaccharide Library Construction Services according to the requirements and methods of oligosaccharide microarray detection.

• Synthesis of oligosaccharides
  We provide one-pot glycosylation to obtain preliminary several oligosaccharides. In this process, we utilize oligosaccharides with special moieties (like oligo-sulfide, and oligo-bromo) as glycosylation donors to induce favorable stereoselectivity and yields in the glycosylation process.
• Synthesis of core oligosaccharides
  We use enzymatic reactions to synthesize core oligosaccharides. Based on the oligosaccharides synthesized in the first step, we use glycosyltransferases to construct specific glycosidic bonds and prepare trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, and so on. In this process, core oligosaccharides with different backbone structures are synthesized using the substrate specificity of glycosyltransferases. At the same time, we provide nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology for structural analysis of the oligosaccharides.
• Construction of oligosaccharide libraries
  We utilize enzymatic extension methods to extend each core structure by a different glycosyltransferase (rearrangement of enzyme-modified sequences, etc.). Each extension scheme is designed according to the substrate specificity of the glycosyltransferase to avoid undesirable glycosylation.
  In addition, we provide a variety of glycosyltransferase systems to obtain more complex oligos and to avoid creating more prolonged purification steps.
  Finally, we provide high-resolution anion-exchange chromatography, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and NMR techniques to characterize the purity and structure of the oligosaccharide library.
