Structure-based design of alkyl sugar-1-phosphates provides an efficient
nucleotidylyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of a series of new lipophilic sugar nucleotides
possessing long or branched alkyl chains, thereby demonstrating the utility of
nucleotidylyltransferases to catalyze the synthesis of sugar nucleotides with potential applications
in lipopolysaccharide and lipoglycopeptide biosynthesis.
