Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the enzymatic synthesis of 2-deoxy-.beta.-D-galactosides. The enzyme galactosyltransferase is able to catalyze the transfer of 2-deoxygalactose residues from the donor substrate uridine 5'-diphospho-2-deoxy-D-galactose to N-acetylglucosamine or aspartyl-N-acetylglucosamine or, in the presence of lactose, to terminal glucose.
