Galactofuranose-Related Enzymes: Challenges and Hopes

Galactofuranose-Related Enzymes: Challenges and Hopes

Galactofuranose is a rare form of the well-known galactose sugar, and its occurrence in numerous pathogenic micro-organisms makes the enzymes responsible for its biosynthesis interesting targets. Herein, we review the role of these carbohydrate-related proteins with a special emphasis on the galacto...
