Abstract
This purpose of this mini review is to familiarize readers with the tools currently available for the synthesis of mucin-type glycoproteins. The article will highlight recent approaches to the synthesis of glycopeptide fragments bearing complex O-linked glycans, as well as new strategies for the generation of full-length glycoproteins.
