Through the combination of evolutionary, structural and functional analysis the hypothetical putative sugar binding protein 2ob5 was found to be a part of the RbsD/FucU superfamily. Through the use of literature review it was further identified that our protein appeared to be more specifically a FucU protein that catalysis the anomeric change of alpha-purine-fucose into beta-purine-fucose. This identification of function has come through the use of bioinformtatic tools and in order to verify these findings further scientifc experiments should be undertaken on these specific proteins.
