Abstract
This chapter presents a table that consist of enzymic synthesis of various sugar nucleotides. Individual enzymes are numbered according to the enzyme commission numbers based on the enzyme nomenclature recommendation of the International Union of Biochemistry. It is noted that organic synthesis of most sugar nucleotides can be readily accomplished. The sugar nucleotides are divided into 11 groups as listed below. Aldopentoses; aldohexoses and aldoheptoses; alditols; uronic acids; deoxy sugars; branched carbohydrates; amino sugars; aminouronic acids; keto acids; muramic acid and muramyl peptides; and oligosaccharides and sulfate-substituted carbohydrates. Sugar nucleotides with sulfate-substituted carbohydrates or with oligomeric carbohydrate chains are listed although no biological role has been established for them.
