5N6S, 5N6T - PubMed Abstract: 
The conformational analysis of glycosidases affords a route to their specific inhibition through transition-state mimicry. Inspired by the rapid reaction rates of cyclophellitol and cyclophellitol aziridine-both covalent retaining β-glucosidase inhibitors-we postulated that the corresponding carba "cyclopropyl" analogue would be a potent retaining β-glucosidase inhibitor for those enzymes reacting through the 4 H 3 transition-state conformation ...
