Abstract
NeuAc-alpha -2,3-Gal-beta -O-PNP has been synthesised and its ability to act as a substrate for the hydrolase and transferase activities of Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase have been investigated. The turn-over of this compound shows marked differences from the behaviour of NeuAc-MU. In addition, distinct differences in the action of T. cruzi trans-sialidase and Clostridium perfringens neuraminidase on NeuAc-alpha -2,3-Gal-beta -O-PNP were apparent. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
