The invention relates to an enzymatic method for synthesizing
oligosaccharides, whereby one saccharide group of a sucrose analogue each
is transferred onto an acceptor molecule, for example for glycosylating a
hydroxyl compound, a saccharide, peptide, or a drug. According to the
inventive method, an enzymatic synthesis of
.beta.-D-fructofuranosyl-a-D-aldopyranoside is carried out in a first
step, and in a second step one of the saccharide groups is enzymatically
transferred onto the acceptor molecule.
