Engineering enzymes: The glutamic acid nucleophile of a retaining β-mannosidase has been replaced with a serine residue to form a β-mannosynthase. When the new enzyme is provided with an α-mannosyl fluoride donor and an appropriate acceptor,β-mannoside linkages are synthesized (see scheme). Remarkably, a-mannosyl fluoride can be generated in situ by providing the mannosynthase with excess fluoride ion.

A versatile glycosynthase (TnG-E338A) with strikingly broad substrate scope has been developed from Thermus nonproteolyticus β-glycosidase (TnG) by using site-directed mutagenesis. The practical utility of this biocatalyst has been demonstrated by the facile generation of a small library containing various oligosaccharides and a steroidal glycoside (total 25 compounds) in up to 100 % isolated yield. Moreover, an array of eight gluco-oligosaccharides has been readily synthesized by the enzyme in a one-pot, parallel reaction, which highlights its potential in the combinatorial construction of a carbohydrate library that will assist glycomic and glycotherapeutic research. Significantly, the enzyme provides a means by which glycosynthase technology may be extended to combinatorial chemistry.

α-Mannosides made easy: Mutation of a family-GH31 α-glucosidase that displays plasticity to alterations at the 2-OH position of donor substrates created an efficient α-mannoside-synthesizing biocatalyst. A simple fluoride donor reagent was used for the synthesis of a range of mono-α-mannosylated conjugates using the α-mannosynthase displaying low (unwanted) oligomerization activity. Copyright
Synthesis of 1-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose: An unexpected rearrangement in the reaction of 2-O-methanesulfonyl-β-D-mannopyranose with [18F]fluoride

2-O-Methanesulfonyl-β-D-mannose was reacted with kryptofix/K2CO3/[18F]fluoride in CH3CN/THF (9:1) at 60°C. Unexpectedly, a mixture of 1α- and 1β-glucopyranosyl [18F]fluoride (4 and 5, respectively) was obtained in 50% radiochemical yield (EOB); 2-[18F]FDG was not detected. Modification of temperature, solvent or pH did not result in the formation of 2-[18F]FDG. Uptake of radioactivity in heart and brain of mice was significantly lower for 4 and 5 than for 2-[18F]FDG, although 5 seems to pass the blood-brain barrier. Uptake in bone was more pronounced for 4 than for 5 and negligible for 2-[18F]FDG.
