International audience. Enzymatic functionalization of oligosaccharides is a useful and environmentally friendly way to expand their structural chemical space and access to a wider range of applications in the health, food, feed, cosmetics and other sectors. In this work, we first tested the laccase/TEMPO system to generate oxidized forms of cellobiose and methyl beta-D-cellobiose, and obtained high yields of novel anionic disaccharides (>60 %) at pH 6.0. Laccase/ TEMPO system was then applied to a mix of cellooligosaccharides and to pure D-cellopentaose. The occurrence of carbonyl and carboxyl groups in the oxidation products was shown by LC-HRMS, MALDI-TOF and reductive amination of the carbonyl groups was attempted with p-toluidine a low molar mass amine to form the Schiff base, then reduced by 2-picoline borane to generate a more stable amine bond. The new grafted products were characterized by LC-HRMS, LC-UV-MS/MS and covalent grafting was evidenced. Next, the same procedure was adopted to successfully graft a dye, the rhodamine 123, larger in size than toluidine. This two-step chemoenzymatic approach, never reported before, for functionalization of oligosaccharides, offers attractive opportunities to anionic cellooligosaccharides and derived glucoconjugates of interest for biomedical or neutraceutical applications. It also paves the way for more environmentally-friendly cellulose fabric staining procedures.
