Disclosed are methods and compositions for
glycosylation of a
sugar acceptor, comprising the steps of: (i) converting an exogenous
nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) to a
nucleoside diphosphate (NDP); (ii) converting the NDP to NDP-
sugar, comprising contacting at least one Leloir
glycosyltransferase (GT) with the NDP and an exogenous
sugar donor (SD) in a reaction medium; and (iii) converting a sugar
acceptor (SA) to a glycosylated SA, comprising contacting the at least one GT with the NDP-sugar and the SA in the reaction medium.
