Exploring architectures displaying multimeric presentations of a trihydroxypiperidine iminosugar [PDF]
The synthesis of new multivalent architectures based on a trihydroxypiperidine α-fucosidase inhibitor is reported herein. Tetravalent and nonavalent dendrimers were obtained by means of the click chemistry approach involving the copper azide-alkyne ...

Multivalent Pyrrolidine Iminosugars: Synthesis and Biological Relevance
Recently, the strategy of multivalency has been widely employed to design glycosidase inhibitors, as glycomimetic clusters often induce marked enzyme inhibition relative to monovalent analogs.

Discovery of a Potent α ‑ Galactosidase Inhibitor by in Situ Analysis of a Library of Pyrrolizidine − (Thio)urea Hybrid Molecules Generated via Click Chemistry [PDF]
The parallel synthesis of a 26-membered-library of aromatic/aliphatic-(thio)urea-linked pyrrolizidines followed by in situ biological evaluation toward α -galactosidases has been carried out.

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different
