| Summary: | The efficient synthesis of oligosaccharides is becoming increasingly important as their roles in biological recognition and signalling mechanisms are exploited as potential therapeutic agents. Carbohydrate processing enzymes are desirable catalysts for creating oligosaccharides as the use of multi-step chemical syntheses are avoided; however, they do not always meet exact experimental requirements. |
