Abstract: Sialyloligosaccharides that occur as terminal sequences in glycoproteins and glycolipids were synthesized by using combined chemical and enzymatic methodologies. Neutral oligosaccharides containing PDGal (1, 3) P~ GlcNAc (type l), gal (1, 4) P~ Glc (NAc)(type 2), and pDGal (1, 3)@~ GalNAc (type 3) sequences were sialylated enzymatically by using three purified mammalian sialyltransferases each of which uses ...
