title: Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of allyl penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose.
abstract: Cell density cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli strains harboring the nodC gene (encoding chitooligosaccharide synthase) from Azorhizobium caulinodans has been previously described as a practical method for the preparation of gram-scale quantities of penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose. We have now extended this method to the production of allylated derivative of penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose by using allyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranoside (2) as the initial acceptor for the synthesis of target pentaoside in vivo.
