Fucosyltransferase 2 inhibitors: Identification via docking and STD-NMR studies.
Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) catalyzes the biosynthesis of A, B, and H antigens and other important glycans, such as (Sialyl Lewisx) sLex, and (Sialyl Lewisy) sLey. The production of these glycans is increased in various cancers, hence to design and develop specific inhibitors of FUT2 is a therapeuti...
