substrate analogue is particularly interesting since it provides the first glimpse of an intact oligosaccharide bound across the active site of an enzyme. The pyranaose 1ing is distorted into a boat conformation which gives a pseudo-axial conformation for the glycosidic bond and leaving group as predicted by David Phillips in 1974 and as expected on stereoelectronic grounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
