Description
Summary:Homogeneous glycoprotein syntheses have become possible in the last decade due to advances in chemical ligation strategies, particularly Native Chemical Ligation (NCL). For native glycoproteins this still requires laborious and technically challenging syntheses of glycopeptide components, combined with multi-segment ligation reactions. Here we explore new reactions between sugar-linked acyl transfer auxiliaries and peptide thioesters. We show that native glycoproteins are difficult to produce using this approach but various related analogues are accessible. The results show that site-specific neoglycoconjugation is a viable route to simply glycosylated proteins, which may be extended using well-documented enzymatic processes. We explore reactions between sugar-linked acyl transfer auxiliaries and peptide or protein thioesters, and find that various glycoprotein analogues are accessible.
