Structure-function analysis of plant fructosyltransferases
Fructans are an important class of plant carbohydrates that consist of linear or branched chains of fructosyl moieties. Their synthesis requires fructosyltransferases (FTs) that catalyze the transfer of fructosyl units from a donor substrate (sucrose or fructan) to an acceptor substrate (sucrose or fructan).

Comparative analysis of fructosyltransferases of lactobacilli [PDF]
Some lactobacilli from food fermentations express fructosyltransferases, enzymes enabling them the production of fructans and fructooligosaccharides from sucrose. The work presents a comparison of known and newly identified Lactobacillus fructosyltransferases. Sequence comparison and molecular modelling approaches revealed a similar structure of all of

Purification, cloning and functional characterization of a fructan 6-exohydrolase from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]
Fructans, β2-1 and/or β2-6 linked polymers of fructose, are produced by fructosyltransferases (FTs) from sucrose. They are important storage carbohydrates in many plants.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs): A Condensed Overview
FOSs are short-chain fructose-based oligosaccharides with notable functional and health benefits. Naturally present in various fruits and vegetables, FOSs are primarily produced enzymatically or microbially from sucrose or long-chain fructans, namely ...
