Abstract

Inhibition kinetics of two isosteric analogues of GDP-fucose (GDP-Fuc) were investigated against fucosyltransferase V using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry coupled to multiple reaction monitoring. The carba-Fuc analogue was found to be a competitive inhibitor with a K(i) value of 67.1+/-9.8 microM, similar to the K(m) value for GDP-Fuc (50.4+/-5.5 microM), while the C-Fuc analogue exhibited significantly weak competitive inhibition with a K(i) value of 889+/-93 microM.
