Factors influencing course of reaction:

“Each oligosaccharide synthesis remains an independent problem

which resolution requires considerable systematic research and a good

deal of know-how. There are no universal reaction conditions for

oligosaccharide synthesis.”- Hans Paulsen, 1982

Advantage and Need of ChemicalApproaches to Glycobiology• Polysaccharides are the most abundant organic compounds on Earth• Half of all proteins are glycosylated• Genomic sequencing indicates approximately 1% of each genome, from

eubacteria to archea and eukaryotes, is dedicated to sugar-processingenzymes

• Genomic sequencing provides no structural information on glycans asglycan biosynthesis is not template directed

• Defined oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates are critical for unravelingthe structure and function of glycans.

• Examples of chemical approaches to glycobiology: glycan arrays,perturbation of protein-glycan recognition and development ofcarbohydrate-based vaccines.

• Bioorthogonal ligation reactions for imaging cell-suface glycans

Introduction of Chemical Reporter Groups byBioorthogonal Ligation Reactions for Imaging of Cell-Surface Glycans

• Unlike protein and nucleic acid biosynthesis, oligosaccharide synthesis isnot template driven or under transcriptional control but assembled step bystep in the endoplasmatic reticulum and Golgi apparatus

• Microheterogenity complicates analysis of structure and biologicalproperties

• To be defined: relationship between cellular glycosylation and diseases.For example cancer cell surface proteins incorporate highly branched andsialylated oligosaccharides

• Labeling and visualization of cell-surfaces require bioorthogonal ligationmethods

• Bertozzi and co-workers have developed a Staudinger ligation and appliedHuisgen cycloaddition chemistry to label cell surfaces

Conclusions

• Glycans are important molecules in biological systems• Chemical synthesis of glycans remains a significant challenge (esp.

glycosylation and characterization of large glycans)• Characterization (structural & bioactivity) of glycans remains important• Many opportunities for chemical synthesis in the general area of

glycobiology
