The synthesis of P 1 -[11-(anthracen-9-ylmethoxy)undecyl]- P 2 -(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl) diphosphate and the study of its acceptor properties in the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by a D-rhamnosyltransferase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

P 1 -[11-(anthracen-9-ylmethoxy)undecyl]- P 2 -(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl) diphosphate, a fluorescent derivative of undecyl diphosphate 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucose, was chemically synthesized. The ability of the compound to serve as acceptor substrate for the transfer of D-rhamnose residue by D-rhamnosyltransferase WbpZ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was demonstrated.
