Glycosyltransferase Affinity Gels
 
In nature, oligosaccharides are synthesized by glycosyltransferases. These enzymes transfer monosaccharides from nucleotide sugars (donor substrates) to hydroxyl groups on appropriate carbohydrates
(acceptor substrates). Oligosaccharides are assembled by the sequential action of glycosyltransferases that exhibit remarkable regio- and stereo-specificity
