Structure of human lysosomal acid α-glucosidase–a guide for the treatment of Pompe disease

Pompe disease is caused by mutations in lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA) and patients are being treated with recombinant human α-glucosidase (rhGAA). Here the authors present the crystal structures of rhGAA and its complexes with inhibitors and a pharmacological chaperone, which is important for d...
