Within this ‘glycan’ scope, information is segmented into glycan types, that is, ‘n-glycan’, ‘o-glycan’, ‘s-glycan’, ‘c-glycan’, and 'ligand'. Each of these glycan types contains an array of individual
  • interface on the Privateer database homepage, carbohydrate-containing PDB entries can easily be found and filtered. Privateer database entries for specific glycosylation types, namely, N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, S-glycosylation, or C-glycosylation can be filtered quickly and easily. Additional
  • total deposited models into the PDB for all structural determination methods. Lines show glycosylation in the PDB over time, split into N-glycans, O-glycans, S-glycans, and C-glycans.

Graphical Abstract
  • ., PCy3 and P(o-tol)3 reduced the yield of the desired product 6a (Table 1, entries 7 and 8). Lowering the amount of Pd(OAc)2 or changing the reaction temperatures resulted low yields of 6a (Table 1, entries 9–11). Similar results were observed from the reactions using other bases, such as K3PO4, NaOAc
