Does Bio-Synthesis offers glycopeptide synthesis?

Bio-Synthesis provides glycopeptide synthesis at various scales and purity. A glycopeptide compose of carbohydrate linked to a peptide composed of L amino acid or D amino acids. A glyco amino acid is a saccharide attached to a single amino via covalent bond through a glycosyl linkage (O-, N-, S-).  These glyco amino acids are incorporated into peptide in solid phas peptide synthesis, using Fmoc protected with the sugar generally as acetylated form. These glycopeptides can be used to analyze specificity of glycosidases, glycosyltransferases, and receptors. Glycopeptides are also used to investigate the local interaction between sugar and peptide backbones, to determine immune responses against glycopeptide epitopes or for several other reasons.
