グリコシダーゼによる糖鎖組換え反応を用いた生理活性糖鎖の合成

Carbohydrate chains are compound formed by connecting monosaccharides, and there are numerous types in consideration of the types of monosaccharides and the binding formation. Each carbohydrate chain has a different function and plays an important role in the living body.Some oligosaccharides are used in foods and cosmetics due to their functions.In the present study, we developed a synthetic method that uses carbohydrates as food that we eat on a daily basis as a raw material and converts it into bioactive carbohydrate chains having new functions by carbohydrate-rearranging reaction.
