Glycosylase Inhibitors

Glycosylases are a group of enzymes that includes glucosidases, mannosidases and heparanases. There are two glucosidase subtypes, α- and β-glucosidase (EC numbers 3.2.1.20 and 3.2.1.21 respectively), which are both found in the gut. They hydrolyze terminal (1,4)α-glucosidic linkages and (1,6)β-glucosidic linkages, liberating α-glucose and β-glucose respectively.

Mannosidases are divided into two subtypes: I and II, (EC numbers 3.2.1.113 and 3.2.1.114 respectively) ...
