14. The tfbD gene (Jiang, X.-M.; Neal, B.; Santiago, F.; Lee, S. J.; Romana, L. K.; Reeves, P. R. Mol. Microbiol. 1991, 5, 695) was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the genomic DNA of Salmonella enterica LT2 as the template and was cloned into a pUC18 vector. Purification of the RfbD protein (TDP-L-rhamnose synthase) from the E. coli HB101-rfbD recombinant strain involved two chromatographic steps: DEAE-Sepharose and Mono Q.
15. The scheme and a brief discussion of the synthesis can be found in the Supporting Information.
16. Because the natural substrate (1) has a β-configuration at the anomeric carbon, only the β-isomer of 8 should be recognized and processed by TDP-L-rhamnose synthase.

22. Compound 9 was the predominant species derived mainly from the unreacted 8α, and no 10 and 11 were detected when the incubation was performed in the absence of enzyme.
23. 19F NMR indicates that little of this intermediate was accumulated during turnover.
