title: Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of a trisaccharide-linked peptide aimed at improved drug-delivery.
abstract: The glycosyltransferase enzyme LgtA, derived from the bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, was utilised in the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of a trisaccharide-linked endomorphin peptide drug candidate.
