"Polar patch" proteases as glycopeptiligases

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Jan 14:(2):168-70. doi: 10.1039/b412030b. Epub 2004 Dec 3.

Abstract

The strategy of combined site directed mutagenesis and chemical modification with polar prosthetic groups was used to broaden substrate specificity of proteases resulting in the first successful formation of glycopeptides through the use of glucoamino acid acyl donors in yields of up to 90%.
