An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

Bottom‐Up Synthesized Glucan Materials: Opportunities from Applied Biocatalysis
Linear d‐glucans, simple yet versatile polysaccharides, shape nanostructures crucial for biomaterial development. Shifting from top‐down to bottom‐up synthesis using natural and engineered enzymes provides meticulous control over polymer structures, fostering diversification for macromolecular materials.

The First Glycosynthase Derived from an Inverting Glycoside Hydrolase [PDF]
Reducing end xylose-releasing exooligoxylanase (Rex, EC 3.2.1.156) is an inverting GH that hydrolyzes xylooligosaccharides (> or = X3) to release X1 at their reducing end. The wild-type enzyme exhibited the Hehre resynthesis hydrolysis mechanism, in which alpha-X2F was hydrolyzed to X2 and HF in the presence of X1 as an acceptor molecule.

Glycosynthases are catalytic mutants of mainly retaining glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the synthesis of oligosaccharides from their corresponding glycosyl-fluoride donors and suitable acceptors. Here we describe the development of a general, high-throughput screening procedure for glycosynthase activity, which is based on the release of ...

Glycosynthases are promising enzyme catalysts for glycoside synthesis. Derived from glycoside hydrolases by mechanistic repurposing of their active site, glycosynthases utilize suitably activated glycosyl donors for glycosylation, yet they are unable to ...
