Mechanistic investigation of 3, 5-epimerases / reductases involved in the biosynthesis of GDP-L-Fucose and GDP-L-Galactose
GDP-fucose synthase (GFS), also known as GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-mannose 3, 5- epimerase / 4-reductase (GMER), is the key enzyme in the GDP-L-fucose biosynthetic pathway. The pathway begins with a dehydratase that converts GDP-D-mannose into 6-deoxy-4-keto- GDP-D-mannose. Then GFS performs two consecutiv...
