Abstract
This invention provides methods for practical in vitro synthesis of gangliosides and other glycolipids. The synthetic methods typically involve enzymatic synthesis, or a combination of enzymatic and chemical synthesis. One or more of the enzymatic steps is preferably carried out in the presence of an organic solvent.
