title: beta-Glucosylation of chitooligomers by galactosyltransferase.
abstract: Galactosyltransferase from bovine milk was found to be able to utilise UDP-Glc to transfer Glc onto GlcNAc and chitooligomers[-beta-GlcNAc-(1-->4)-]n, n = 2-4. beta-Glucosylated products were used in binding studies with NKR-P1A protein cloned from rat natural killer cells.
