6HZY - PubMed Abstract: 
The sugar fucose plays a myriad of roles in biological recognition. Enzymes hydrolyzing fucose from glycoconjugates, α-l-fucosidases, are important targets for inhibitor and probe development. Here we describe the synthesis and evaluation of novel α-l-fucosidase inhibitors, with X-ray crystallographic analysis using an α-l-fucosidase from Bacteroides thetaiotamicron helping to lay a foundation for future development of inhibitors for this important enzyme class.
