Gangliosides are composed of oligosaccharide chains attached to ceramides and are employed as targeted drugs and diagnostic biomarkers, however, their industrially-relevant synthesis remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a modular chemoenzymatic cascade assembly strategy for the customized and large-scale synthesis of ganglioside analogues with various glycan and ceramide epitopes.
