Abstract

(Equation Presented) Synthesis of 4-nitrophenyl 1-thio-β-D-maltoside, maltotrioside, and maltotetraoside in yields up to 60% has been achieved by a Tyr151Met (Y151M) mutant of human salivary α-amylase. Y151M is capable of transferring maltose and maltotriose residues from a maltotetraose donor onto different p-nitrophenyl glycosides. 1H and 13C NMR studies revealed that the mutated enzyme preserved the stereo- and regioselectivity. The glycosylation took place at position 4 of the glycosyl acceptor, forming the α(1-4)glycosidic bond, exclusively.
