1 FL is fucosyllactose other than 2’-FL and 3-FL.

The reactions were performed at 30°C for 50 min using 20 mM pNP-Fuc as donor and 25 mM lactose as acceptor. Concentrations of substrates and products in trans-fucosylation reactions was determined using HPAEC-PAD and NMR. Concentrations of pNP-Fuc and and Fuc- Fuc-pNP was estimated by comparison of characteristic non-over-overlapping 1H NMR signals and that of L-fucose.
