Abstract
Uridine 5'-diphospho-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro)galactose (UDP-2FGal), prepared and characterized for the first time by a chemoenzymatic method, was found to be a competitive inhibitor of beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase with a Ki value of 149 microM. This study supports that the glycosyltransferase reaction mechanism proceeds through a glycosidic cleavage transition state with sp2 character developed at the anomeric center.
