Abstract
This cover picture illustrates enzymatic glycosylation for the synthesis of the O-glycan core 6 disaccharide moiety, GlcNAcβ1-6GalNAc. The β1,6-selective N-acetylglucosamination was catalyzed by an N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron with an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) oxazoline derivative as the glycosyl donor, resulting in disaccharides with β1,6-linked GlcNAc. More details can be found in article number e202500142 by Tomonari Tanaka, Takayuki Ohnuma, and co-workers.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews.
A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
