Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine quality of semen is affected in part by the loss in the activity of alpha-fucosidase, which may be useful in early diagnosis of the loss in reproductive capacity during the course of trypanosomiasis and fertility tests Trypanosoma congolense

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
additional information time-associated loss in the activity of alpha-fucosidase post infection. Sialic acid release is correlated with a gradual loss in activity of the enzyme Trypanosoma congolense

additional information
-
alpha-fucosidase from the uninfected semen displays a broad acidic pH range of 4.5–5.5 and a subsequent neutral optimum of pH 6.8–7.2. There is an absence of the neutral pH optimum for the pathological semen Trypanosoma congolense
