This Review summarizes close to 500 primary publications and surveys published since
2000 about the syntheses and diverse bioactivities of C-glycopyranosyl (het) arenes. A …

Glycosylation reactions mainly catalyzed by glycosyltransferases (Gts) occur almost
everywhere in the biosphere, and always play crucial roles in vital processes. In order to …

Glycosylation is a chemical transformation that is centrally important in all glycoscience and
related technologies. Catalysts offering good control over reactivity and selectivity in …

Abstract Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4. 1.13) is a glycosyltransferase (GT) long known
from plants and more recently discovered in bacteria. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible …

Glycosylation of small molecules like specialized (secondary) metabolites has a profound
impact on their solubility, stability or bioactivity, making glycosides attractive compounds as …

Enzymes are nature's catalyst of choice for the highly selective and efficient coupling of
carbohydrates. Enzymatic sugar coupling is a competitive technology for industrial …

The catalytic promiscuity of the novel benzophenone C‐glycosyltransferase, MiCGT, which
is involved in the biosynthesis of mangiferin from Mangifera indica, was explored. MiCGT …

Until recently, glycosidases, naturally hydrolyzing carbohydrate-active enzymes, have found
few synthetic applications in industry, being primarily used for cleaving unwanted …

Arbutin is a hydroquinone glucoside and a natural product present in various plants. Arbutin
potently inhibits melanin formation. This property has been exploited in whitening cosmetics …

Flavonoids possess diverse bioactivity and potential medicinal values. Glycosylation of
flavonoids, coupling flavonoid aglycones and glycosyl groups in conjugated form, can …
