Challenges and Opportunities for the Large-Scale Chemoenzymatic Glycoengineering of Therapeutic N-Glycosylated Monoclonal Antibodies [PDF]
Variability in the glycosylation profile of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), due to recombinant production technologies, leads to inconsistencies in effector functions and pharmacokinetic properties, both batch-to-batch and within single batches.

Glycosynthase-catalysed formation of modified polysaccharide microstructures [PDF]
Glycosynthases are mutant glycosidases, genetically engineered to catalyse the synthesis of oligosaccharides. A study by Faijes et al. in this issue of the Biochemical Journal has expanded the ability of glycosynthases to catalyse the polymerization of carbohydrates to form unnatural oligosaccharide products that can attain unique crystalline forms ...

Engineering the functional fitness of transglycosidases and glycosynthases by directed evolution [PDF]
The artificial implementation of the Darwinian theory of evolution to create new variants of functional proteins, a process referred to as directed evolution, has acquired many applications in biochemical engineering.

Lacto-N-biose 1,2-oxazoline was prepared chemo-enzymatically and shown to be a donor substrate for β-1,3-glycosylation of lactose by the wild-type and glycosynthase variants (D320E, D320A, Y419F) of Bifidobacterium bifidum β-N-hexosaminidase.

Sugars : burden or biomaterials of the future? [PDF]
During the past few years, the field of tissue engineering (TE) has been shifting from replacement to regenerative strategies. Following this tendency, the requirements for biomaterials to be used in TE have been also changing.

Reagent Engineering for Group Transfer Biocatalysis
Biocatalytic group transfer reactions can efficiently generate highly complex molecules under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. This Minireview highlights inspiring examples of the development of non‐natural donor reagents to power such enzymatic transformations, while discussing the design aspects behind the choice of reagent.

Generation of a Mutant Mucor hiemalis Endoglycosidase That Acts on Core-fucosylated N-Glycans [PDF]
Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase M (Endo-M), an endoglycosidase from the fungus Mucor hiemalis, is a useful tool for chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycoconjugates, including glycoprotein-based therapeutics having a precisely defined glycoform, by virtue of ...
