Abstract
A range of N-acetyllactosamine derivatives, which are modified by a wide range of functionalities at C-2′ and C-6, have been synthesised and the kinetic parameters of transfer catalysed by recombinant α-2,6-sialyltransferase and α-1,3-fucoyltransferase VI determined. Several of the chemical modifications led to selective modulate the activity the enzymes and offer promising lead compounds for the development of oligosaccharide primers for selective metabolic inhibition of oligosaccharide biosynthesis.
