Biosynthesis of 6-deoxy sugars, including l-fucose, involves a mechanistically complex, enzymatic 4,6-dehydration of hexose nucleotide precursors as the first committed step. Here, we determined pre- and postcatalytic complex structures of the human GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase at atomic resolution ...
