title: Chemoenzymatic synthesis of GDP-azidodeoxymannoses: non-radioactive probes for mannosyltransferase activity.
abstract: GDP-2-, 3-, 4- or 6-azidomannoses can be successfully prepared from the corresponding azidomannose-1-phosphates and GTP using the enzyme GDP-Mannosepyrophosphorylase (GDP-ManPP) from Salmonella enterica and may serve as useful probes for mannosyltransferase activity.
