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 by NST, C5‐Epi/2‐OST and 6‐OST1/6‐OST3, thus 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. |
