A transglycosylation reaction of 2'-amino-locked nucleic acid (LNA) from thymine (T) to other nucleobases adenine (A), guanine (G), and 5-methylcytosine (C) has been developed. This reaction proceeds in high yield and with high β-selectivity. The mild reaction conditions enable the coexistence of acid-labile protecting groups, including a 4,4'-dimethoxytrytyl (DMTr) group. 2'-Amino-LNAs bearing any nucleobase can now be easily synthesized.

Article Synopsis
- GH29A α-l-fucosidases are enzymes that help break down specific sugars in glycoconjugates and can also be used to create human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) through a process called transglycosylation.
- Researchers used bioinformatics tools and phylogenetic clustering to identify and analyze new microbial GH29A α-l-fucosidases from an underexplored group, as well as previously known enzymes, to determine their biochemical properties and behavior under different conditions.
- The study found that transglycosylation of certain substrates was most effective at neutral to alkaline pH levels and revealed new structural insights into how these enzymes function, particularly regarding regioselectivity in product formation.

This study presents the enzymatic synthesis of resveratrol-3,4'-O-α-diglucoside (RDG) using a hyperactive O-α-glycoligase (MalA-D416R/Q450S) and α-glucopyranosyl fluoride as the donor substrate. The transglycosylation rate for resveratrol by MalA-D416R/Q450S was maximized in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.5) containing 20 % DMSO at 45°C.
