Two mutases, MtdL and Hyg20, are reported. Both are able to functionally drive the biosynthesis of GDP-alpha-L-fucofuranose. Both enzymes catalyze similar functions, catalytically enabling the bidirectional reaction between GDP-beta-L-fucopyranose and GDP-alpha-L-fucofuranose using only divalent cations as cofactors. This realization is but one of a number of important insights into fucofuranose biosynthesis presented herein
