The present invention provides glycoconjugates that are formed through the
enzymatically-mediated coupling of a glycosyl moiety, e.g., on a peptide
or lipid, and a modifying group that includes an acyl group. The
conjugates include the modifying group tethered to the glycosyl moiety
through a linking moiety that includes an acyl residue. Also provided are
methods for preparing the conjugates of the invention
