Cells of Micrococcus sp. 2102 incorporate inorganic [32P]phosphate from the medium into the sugar-phosphate polymer of the wall. Controlled acid hydrolysis of sodium dodecyl sulphate-extracted cells gives N-acetylglucosamine 6-[32P]-phosphate which can be purified by ion-exchange chromatography and

Abstract
A concise route to a new β‐ketophosphonate analog of glycosyl nucleotides is described. Such a diphosphate bioisostere is a stable mimic of enzyme substrates involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis and will be the starting point for the development of new potential antibiotics. The synthesis is carried out by condensing a lithiomethylenephosphonate derivative on a methyl N‐acetylglucosaminylacetate followed by esterification with a uridine derivative.

Previous reports have suggested that changes in oligosaccharide structures, especially 1-6 branching in N-glycans, which are biosynthesized by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:␣ mannoside 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-V), are linked to tumor metastasis and invasion. In the present study, we inve
