“…With this convergent synthesis strategy in place, a chemo-enzymatic approach to the synthesis of D1 and D2/D3 arm donors was explored to allow a rapid assembly of diverse N -glycans 55,56 . To this end, various glycosyl transferases were used, including β-1,4-galactosyltransferases 51,57 , α-2,3/2,6-sialyltransferases 52,53 and α-1,3/1,2-fucosyltransferases 49,51,58 , for the preparation of linear and branched modules by enzymatic extension of chemically synthesized acceptors 16–20 (Fig. 3 and Supplementary Scheme 22).…”
