  <name>L-Fucose</name>
  <description>Fucose is a hexose sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O5. Alpha1-&gt;3 linked core fucose is a suspected carbohydrate antigen for IgE-mediated allergy. In fucose-containing glycan structures, fucosylated glycans, fucose can exist as a terminal modification or serve as an attachment point for adding other sugars. Fucose is metabolized by an enzyme called alpha-fucosidase. (Wikipedia)</description>
