Molecular insights of acarbose metabolization catalyzed by acarbose-preferred glucosidase

Abstract The clinical efficacy of the antidiabetic drug acarbose is hampered by degradation by the acarbose-preferred glucosidase (Apg) from K. grimontii TD1. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of Apg can aid the design of next-generation hypoglycemic pharmaceuticals acarbose analogs. Here, we de...
