Abstract
Synthesis of 4-nitrophenyl 1-thio-beta-D-maltoside, maltotrioside, and maltotetraoside in yields up to 60% has been achieved by a Tyr151Met (Y151M) mutant of human salivary alpha-amylase. Y151M is capable of transferring maltose and maltotriose residues from a maltotetraose donor onto different p-nitrophenyl glycosides. (1)H and (13)C NMR studies revealed that the mutated enzyme preserved the stereo- and regioselectivity. The glycosylation took place at position 4 of the glycosyl acceptor, forming the alpha(1-4)glycosidic bond, exclusively. [reaction: see text]
