Structure and dynamics of an α-fucosidase reveal a mechanism for highly efficient IgG transfucosylation

AlfC transfucosidase is used to modulate fucosylation of glycans decorating monoclonal antibodies. Herein, structural and biophysical characterization reveals the enzymatic mechanism of AlfC and a blueprint for the design of AlfC mutants with novel specificities and functions.
