Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear anionic polysaccharides with specific sulfation patterns, and recent research has focused on tailored production strategies and enzyme cascades to overcome challenges such as contamination and uncontrolled sulfation patterns. Despite advancements in chemoenzymatic synthesis, the complex production of GAGs remains a challenging field of research.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear anionic polysaccharides, and most of them show a specific sulfation pattern. GAGs have been studied for decades, and still, new biological functions are discovered. Hyaluronic acid and heparin are sold for medical or cosmetic applications. With increased market and applications, the production of GAGs stays in the focus of research groups and the industry. Common industrial GAG production relies on the extraction of animal tissue. Contamination, high dispersity, and uncontrolled sulfation pattern are still obstacles to this process. Tailored production strategies for the chemoenzymatic synthesis have been developed to address these obstacles. In recent years, enzyme cascades, including uridine-50-diphosphate sugar syntheses, were established to obtain defined polymer size and dispersity, as well as defined sulfation patterns. Nevertheless, the complex synthesis of GAGs is still a challenging research field.
