Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of glycosidases and of their complexes and the study of transition-state mimics reveal structural details that correlate with mechanism. Of particular interest are the transition-state conformations harnessed by individual enzymes and the substrate distortion observed in enzyme-ligand complexes. 3D-structure in synergy with transition-state mimicry opens the way for mechanistic interpretation of enzyme inhibition and for the development of therapeutic agents.Mesh:
