Enzymatic glycosylations on arrays

OMICS. 2010 Aug;14(4):437-44. doi: 10.1089/omi.2010.0035.

Abstract

The enzymatic glycosylation of microarrays is a relatively young field in glycoscience. Platforms developed from other array technologies (e.g., proteins and nucleic acids) were successfully adopted in several proof-of-principle studies as a high-throughput tool for the generation of more complex carbohydrate structures using carbohydrate-processing enzymes. These arrays and the developed on-chip enzymatic glycosylation methodologies are reviewed in this article.
