Galactosylation and glucosylation by use of β-galactosidase
Sauerbrei,Thiem
, p. 201 - 204 (1992)
The transglucosylation activity of β-galactosidase derived from Aspergillus oryzae and Escherichia coli, respectively, was examined in reaction systems containing up to 50% acetonitrile. Starting with ortho-nitrophenyl β-galactoside (1), which functions both as donor and as acceptor, β-Gal(1-6)β-Gal-PhNO2-o (2) and β-Gal(1-3)β-Gal-PhNO2-o (3) were obtained. Under similar conditions the enzyme from A. oryzae converts para-nitrophenyl β-glucoside (5) to β-Glc(1-2)β-Glc-PhNO2-p (6) and α-Glc(1-4)β-Glc-PhNO2-p (7). Incubation of 1 and L-serine in the presence of the A. oryzae β-galactosidase leads to β-Gal-L-Ser (4).

The use of crude extract of the hepatopancreas of Aplysia fasciata, a large mollusc belonging to the order Anaspidea containing a β-galactosidase activity, was reported for the synthesis of different galactosides. Good yields with polar acceptors and the
Probing the transferase activity of glycosidases by means of in situ NMR spectroscopy

This paper describes the conditions in which in situ NMR spectroscopy is a suitable technique to use when following the course of enzymatic transglycosylation reactions. Using this methodology, the reactions must be carried out in D2O. Our experiments indicate that the rate of the transglycosylation reaction is reduced in this solvent while the rate of the hydrolysis of the disaccharides produced is enhanced depending on the nature of the anomeric substituent. However, this undesirable effect is generally weak because the rates of the transglycosylation reactions are always faster than the rates of the hydrolysis whatever the solvent. The great advantage of NMR spectroscopy lies in its potential to detect, in a single experiment, all the components of the reaction without any disturbance of the reaction medium.
Transferase activity of a β-glycosidase from Thermus thermophilus: Specificities and limits - Application to the synthesis of β-[1 → 3]- disaccharides

, p. 757 - 763 (2007/10/03)
The aim of this paper is to test the ability of a β-glycosidase from Thermus thermophilus to catalyse transglycosylation reactions in the presence of nitrophenyl glycosides as donors and other monosaccharides as acceptors. Our results show that this enzym
