Synthesis of GDP-5-thiosugars and Their Use as Glycosyl Donor Substrates for Glycosyltransferases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two thiopyranoside analogues of GDP-sugars, GDP-5-thio-d-mannose (14) and GDP-5-thio-l-fucose (15), were synthesized. The syntheses included the phosphorylations of tetra-O-acetyl-5-thio-d-mannosyl bromide (4) and tri-O-benzoyl-l-fucosyl bromide (6) with silver dibenzyl phosphate, deprotection of the phosphate groups, and condensation of the deprotected phosphates with GMP-imidazolidate (13) in the presence of MgCl(2). These GDP-sugar analogues were found to be donor substrates for alpha(1,2)mannosyltransferase and alpha(1,3)fucosyltransferase, affording a 5-thiomannose-containing disaccharide (18) and a 5-thiofucose-containing trisaccharide (21), respectively. The conformation of the disaccharide analogue 18 was similar to that of its native counterpart by ROESY. These findings for GDP-5-thiosugars together with previous demonstrations of enzymatic transfer from UDP-5-thiosugars will allow the production of panels of oligosaccharide analogues with hydrolase-resistant properties.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
