Structural comparison of differently glycosylated forms of acid-beta-glucosidase, the defective enzyme in Gaucher disease.

Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the gene encoding acid-beta-glucosidase. A recombinant form of this enzyme, Cerezyme, is used to treat Gaucher disease patients by ;enzyme-replacement therapy'. Crystals of Cerezyme after its partial deglycosylation were obtained earlier and the structu...
