title: Enzymes in preparative mono- and oligo-saccharide synthesis.
abstract: This review covers advances/developments in the use of enzymes in synthetic mono-/oligo-saccharide chemistry published in the literature between January 2001 and June 2003. Particular attention is paid to the use of aldolases, ketolases, glycosidases, glycosynthases, lipases, esterases and coupled multi-enzyme biotransformations and 132 references are cited.
