Predictable enzymatic glycosylation.
An innovative approach for manipulating glycosyltransferase-catalyzed glycosylation has now been developed (Truman et al.). Created using a domain-swapping strategy, these chimeric glycotransferases have predictable substrate specificity and may lead to the breakthrough developments in the preparation of carbohydrate-containing molecules of biological interest.
