Sugars appended to pharmaceutically important natural products influence their key pharmacological properties and/or molecular mechanisms of action.[1] However, studies designed to systematically understand or exploit the role of carbohydrates in drug discovery are often limited by the availability of practical synthetic and biosynthetic tools.[2] Among the contemporary options to address this limitation,[3–4] chemoenzymatic glycorandomization ...
