We present an exploration of proton transfer dynamics in a monosaccharide, based upon ab initio molecular dynamic (AIMD) simulations, conducted "on-the-fly", in β-d-galactose-H(+) (βGal-H(+)) and its singly hydrated complex, βGal-H(+)-H2O. Prior structural calculations identify O6 as the preferred protonation site

α-D-Galactopyranosides were synthesized and their inhibitory activities toward the Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-1 extracellular and intracellular α-galactosidases were evaluated. Methyl α-D-galactopyranoside was the most potent inhibitor compared to the others tested, with K(i)(') values of 0.82 and 1.12 mmolL(-1), for extracellular
