Abstract

A chemoenzymatic approach has been developed for the preparation of diverse libraries of heparan sulfate (HS) oligosaccharides. It employs chemically synthesized oligosaccharides having a chemical entity at a GlcN residue, which in unanticipated manners influences the site of modification of NST, C5-Epi/2-OST and 6-OST1/6-OST3 resulting in oligosaccharides differing in N/O-sulfation and epimerization pattern. The enzymatic transformations defined fine substrate requirements of NST, C5-Epi, 2-OST and 6-OST.
