Abstract

A new strategy to tag glycoproteins carrying terminal GlcNAc was developed using commercially available bovine β-1, 4-galactosyltransferase (GalT) and UDP-6- azidogalactose. The azide function was then allowed to react via a biotinylated Staudinger– Bertozzi probe demonstrating the usefulness of such a procedure to tag any glycoprotein possessing a N-acetylglucosamine terminal residue from any type of cell lysate.
