Abstract

"Chemical Equation Presented" Two loops were found to move inward toward the αfucosidase active site to produce a closed conformation of complexes with inhibitors with increasing Ki values from the micro- to nanomolar range. Although no further conformational changes in the two loops are observed for inhibitors with sub-nanomolar Ki values, the loops are additionally stabilized by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.
