A mechanistic rationalization is given for how asymmetric amplification is induced with fidelity in the Soai autocatalytic reaction by chiral initiators that are enantiomeric only by virtue of an isotope, e.g. Selectivity in formation of the product-initiator complex ultimately induces a slight enantioenrichment in the active dimer catalysts that trigger and direct the autocatalytic pathway.
Furthermore, the identification of O-Glc NAc modification sites has been obstructed by the difficulty of enriching and detecting O-Glc NAc using traditional biochemical methods.Due to the lack of a well-defined OGT substrate sequence and structural constraints, OGT is believed to obtain its substrate specificity through its interactome where specific interactors target OGT to specific substrates.
