Automated glycan assembly of peptidoglycan backbone fragments

Org Biomol Chem. 2021 Nov 25;19(45):9829-9832. doi: 10.1039/d1ob01987b.

Abstract

We report the automated glycan assembly (AGA) of different oligosaccharide fragments of the bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) backbone. Iterative addition on a solid support of an acetyl glucosamine and a new muramic acid building block is followed by cleavage from the solid support and final deprotection providing 10 oligosaccharides up to six units.
