DesVII/DesVIII-catalyzed transfer of desosamine from the glycosylated macrolide 3 to various aglycone acceptors. HPLC analysis of the reactions is shown. The detector was set at 235 nm, except for the assay with tylactone 12 where absorbance at 280 nm was monitored as well. a) Desosamine is transferred from 3 to 9 with 1 and 4 formed as products; b) 3 + 10 → 1 + 5; c) 3 + 6 → 1 + 7; d) 3 + 12 → 1 + 13 (235 nm, 13 is invisible at this wavelength); d) 3 + 12 → 1 + 13 (280 nm, 1 and 3 are invisible at this wavelength).
