Regioselective glycosylation: What's new?
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to show how increased understanding of the mechanisms related to both carbohydrate-processing enzymes and intrinsic properties of monoglycosyl residue have significantly impacted our way of thinking about the glycosylation reaction. A focus is made on the importance of low energy interactions. Some recent examples related to biocatalytic approaches and chemical synthesis are given.
