1-O-Acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranose (AcGal), a new substrate for beta-galactosidase, was synthesized in a stereoselective manner by the trichloroacetimidate procedure. Kinetic parameters (K(M) and k(cat)) for the hydrolysis of 1-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranose catalyzed by the beta-D-galactosidase from Penicillium sp. were compared with similar characteristics for

Hemocyanin from the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis is a high-molecular-mass copper-containing glyco-protein which functions as oxygen carrier in the hemolymph. To release the carbohydrate chains, the protein was digested by pronase followed by hydrazinolysis and reduction. The oligosaccharide-alditols were purified
