Abstract Prebiotics have long been used to modulate the gut microbiota and improve host health. Most established prebiotics are nondigestible carbohydrates, especially short‐chain oligosaccharides. Recently, gluco‐oligosaccharides (GlcOS) with 2–10 glucose residues and one or more O‐glycosidic linkage(s) have been found to exert prebiotic potentials ...

Chemo‐Enzymatic Synthesis of Long‐Chain Oligosaccharides for Studying Xylan‐Modifying Enzymes
Xylan biosynthesis: Starting from dixylosides, chemo‐enzymatic syntheses of xylan dodecasaccharides using glycosynthase‐mediated coupling reactions between glycosyl fluoride donors and thioglycoside acceptors were performed. These long‐chain xylan oligosaccharides were incubated with xylan‐modifying enzymes from plants, i.

Hijacking the Peptidoglycan Recycling Pathway of Escherichia coli to Produce Muropeptides
A straightforward access to Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive muropeptides was developed by a chemo‐enzymatic strategy based on metabolically engineered E.coli cells. Abstract Soluble fragments of peptidoglycan called muropeptides are released from the cell wall of bacteria as part of their metabolism or as a result of biological stresses.

Enzymatic Late‐Stage Modifications: Better Late Than Never
Late‐stage modification is an indispensable approach for compound diversification in synthesis. Since enzymes offer particularly powerful means for mild, catalyst‐controlled functionalisations, in recent years several novel biocatalytic methods have emerged enabling a broad array of orthogonal reactions.

Enzymatic Building‐Block Synthesis for Solid‐Phase Automated Glycan Assembly
In a chemoenzymatic approach to oligosaccharide synthesis, the scalability potential of enzymatic synthesis was exploited for the preparative synthesis of a relevant N‐acetyllactosamine disaccharide building block. This disaccharide was then applied successfully to the automated synthesis of a target oligosaccharide using the glycan synthesizer ...

Glycosidases in Carbohydrate Synthesis: When Organic Chemistry Falls Short
Thanks to the stability, good availability, stereoselectivity and broad substrate specificity, oligosaccharide synthesis catalyzed by glycosidases represents an elegant way to complex carbohydrate structures.
