| abstract |
The present invention relates to an enzyme-catalyzed process for producing UDP-galactose from low-cost substrates uridine monophosphate and D-galactose in a single reaction mixture. Said process can be operated (semi)continuously or in batch mode. Said process can be extended to uridine as starting material instead of uridine monophosphate. Further, said process can be adapted to produce galactosylated molecules and biomolecules including saccharides, proteins, peptides, glycoproteins or glycopeptides, particularly human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) and (monoclonal) antibodies. |
