Polysaccharide lyases are the products of various microorganisms, bacteriophage and some eukaryotes. All such enzymes cleave a hexose-1,4-alpha- or beta-uronic acid sequence by beta-elimination. They are in some examples, the only known type of enzymes degrading their polyanionic substrates.

Polysaccharide Biosynthesis [PDF]
Polysaccharide synthesis is discussed from the point of view of the sources of biological information that determine the structures and control the rates of synthesis of complex polysaccharides. It is concluded that three types of information contribute in important and different ways, namely enzyme specificity, primer substances, and the structure of ...
