Abstract

Enzymatic O-glycosylation of dipeptide derivatives containing a serine residue in the N or C terminal position and alanine or glycine as the second amino acid was achieved using the transgalactosylation activity of β-galactosidase from the Achatina achatina digestive juice. Reactions were performed with lactose as glycosyl donor and the dipeptide ethyl (or methyl) esters N-protected by a benzyloxycarbonyl group (Z) as glycosyl acceptors. Yields of galactosyl-dipeptide derivatives were much higher than those obtained with the E.coli β-galactosidase as catalyst.
