1,2-alpha-L-fucosidase
In enzymology, a 1,2-alpha-L-fucosidase (EC 3.2.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- methyl-2-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactoside + H2O L-fucose + methyl beta-D-galactoside

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are methyl-2-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactoside and H2O, whereas its two products are L-fucose and methyl beta-D-galactoside.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactoside fucohydrolase. Other names in common use include almond emulsin fucosidase, and alpha-(1->2)-L-fucosidase.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2EAB, 2EAC, 2EAD, and 2EAE.
gollark: Simply query `[DATA].d.osmarks.net`, where `[DATA]` is a base32-encoded bytestring consisting of the byte C0 and then the UTF-8 text of your comment, and it will appear on https://osmarks.net/test/. Note that padding is with 8 instead of = for the base32, and you may need to add .s in the hostname to make it not too long.
gollark: Why? Purposes. Spam? It's ratelimited, but otherwise I guess there'll just be horrible problems or something.
gollark: Exciting news: comments may now be submitted to my website over DNS.
gollark: If you did this, then I would of course reverse-engineer it and make a tool to decrypt your files, but which also installed potatOS at the same time.
gollark: As planned.
