Efficient syntheses of different types of triazole-linked glycopeptides will be described. These novel and stable glycopeptide mimics were prepared via Cu(I)-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of either acetylenic glycosides and azide-containing amino acids or peptides, or azide-functionalized glycosides and acetylenic amino acids or peptides. Besides, approaches will be highlighted for the enzymatic synthesis of larger glycopeptide structures and attention will be paid to their biological activity.
