Design and synthesis of conformationally constrained glycosylated amino acids.
To probe the conformational requirements of O-linked glycoproteins for binding to various enzymes and receptors, two conformationally constrained glycosylated amino acids, 2 and 3, were designed. The analogues were found to represent two potential low energy conformations of the parent conjugate, 1, by molecular modeling. A convergent synthesis of both 2 and 3 from D-galactose and L-methionine is presented.
