Abstract

A novel chemo-enzymatic synthetic method for UDP-α-6-N3-glucose was developed by combining the versatility of chemical synthesis and natural enzyme stereo-selectivity of Bifidobacterium longum (BLUSP). This flexible and efficient platform expanded the substrate scope for UDP-sugars on an improved scale, particularly for UDP-sugar substrates containing bioorthogonal functional groups.
