Fluorescence Polarization Activity-Based Protein Profiling on Retaining Glycosidases

Glycosidases are important enzymes in the turnover of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, and are involved in a range of human pathologies including genetic disorders such as Gaucher and Pompe disease, but also in various cancers.

Glycosidases are important enzymes in the turnover of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, and are involved in a range of human pathologies including genetic disorders such as Gaucher and Pompe disease, but also in various cancers. The discovery of potent and selective glycosidase inhibitors for fundamental glycobiology studies and as leads for drug discovery requires access to suitable (glycomimetic) compound libraries, as well as easily applicable assays and screening formats. The research described in this Thesis was aimed to explore how covalent and irreversible glycosidase inhibitors can be applied in the screening of focused compound libraries on various glycosidases using fluorescence polarization activity-based protein profiling (FluoPol-ABPP).
