SOME RECENT FINDINGS IN THE BIOTECHNOLOGY OF BIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT NUCLEOSIDES [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2013
Some recent findings in the biotechnology of biologically important nucleosides will be discussed, viz., (i) a new strategy of the cascade one-pot transformation of D-pentoses into nucleosides based on the extension and deepening of the knowledge of the ...

Disaccharide phosphorylases: Structure, catalytic mechanisms and directed evolution

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2021
Disaccharide phosphorylases (DSPs) are carbohydrate-active enzymes with outstanding potential for the biocatalytic conversion of common table sugar into products with attractive properties. They are modular enzymes that form active homo-oligomers. From a

Co-receptor CD8-mediated modulation of T-cell receptor functional sensitivity and epitope recognition degeneracy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The interaction between T-cell receptors (TCRs) and peptide epitopes is highly degenerate: a TCR is capable of interacting productively with a wide range of different peptide ligands, involving not only cross-reactivity proper (similar epitopes elicit ...

A single point mutation converts GH84 O-GlcNAc hydrolases into phosphorylases. Experimental and theoretical evidence.

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2020
Glycoside hydrolases and phosphorylases are two major classes of enzymes responsible for the cleavage of glycosidic bonds. Here we show that two GH84 O-GlcNAcase enzymes can be converted to efficient phosphorylases by a single point mutation. Noteworthy,

Thermodynamic reaction control of nucleoside phosphorolysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Nucleoside analogs represent a class of important drugs for cancer and antiviral treatments. Nucleoside phosphorylases (NPases) catalyze the phosphorolysis of nucleosides and are widely employed for the synthesis of pentose‐1‐phosphates and nucleoside ...

Discovery of a Kojibiose Hydrolase by Analysis of Specificity-Determining Correlated Positions in Glycoside Hydrolase Family 65

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The Glycoside Hydrolase Family 65 (GH65) is an enzyme family of inverting α-glucoside phosphorylases and hydrolases that currently contains 10 characterized enzyme specificities. However, its sequence diversity has never been studied in detail.
