Abstract:
The invention provides engineered enzymes of transsialidase and/or sialyl transferase activity that have increased regioselectivity and/or increased thermostability.
Abstract:
Mutated fucosidases are provided demonstrating improved properties in terms of thermal stability and transfucosidase synthetic performance compared with a wild type transfucosidase isolated from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis.
Abstract:
A mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that consists essentially of 6′-SL, LNnT and LSTc, made by treating 6′-SL and LNnT in the presence of an α2,6-transsialidase.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that consists essentially of: a) a component A which is 3-FL or DFL, a component B which is LNT, LNnT, LNFP-I or 2′-FL, a component C, which is LNFP-II when component B is LNT, or LNFP-III when component B is LNnT, or LNDFH-I when component B is LNFP-I, or DFL when component B is 2′-FL, and a component D, which is lactose when component A is 3-FL, or 2′-FL when component A is DFL, with the proviso that if component B is 2′-FL, then component A is 3-FL; or consists essentially of: b) 3-FL, a component E which is LNT, LNnT or LNFP-I, and a component F, which is LNFP-II when component E is LNT, or LNFP-III when component E is LNnT, or LNDFH-I when component E is LNFP-I, and to processes for producing them and their uses.
Abstract:
An achemo-enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides of formula 1 is presented wherein R is selected from —OH, —N3 and —OR6 wherein R6 is selected from allyl optionally substituted by one or more methyl, propargyl optionally substituted by one or more methyl, 2-trimethylsilyl-ethyl, —(CH2)n—NH2 and —(CH2)n—N3 wherein integer n is to 10, preferably 2 or 3, R is selected from sialyl moiety, —SO3H and —CH(R)—COOH wherein R is selected from H, alkyl and benzyl, R2 is selected from H and fucosyl, R3 is selected from H and sialyl, R4 is selected from H and fucosyl, provided that at least one of R3 and R4 is H, and A is a divalent carbohydrate linker, having important biological activities and significant commercial value for the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Abstract:
A mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that consists essentially of 3′-O-sialyllactose, a component A which is either 3-O-fucosyllactose or lacto-N-tetraose, a component B which is 3-O-fucosyl-3′-O-sialyllactose when component A is 3-O-fucosyllactose and sialyllacto-N-tetraose a, when component A is lacto-N-tetraose and optionally lactose as a fourth component. The mixtures are made by treating 3′-O-sialyllactose and component A with an α2,3-transsialidase. The mixtures are for use in anti-bacterial and anti-viral compositions, and for promoting the development of Bifidobacterium and Barnesiella.
