The P134Q Sucrose Phosphorylase: Subtle Changes in the Catalytic Properties Benefit the Production of 2-O-α-Glucosyl Glycerol. [PDF]
Production of the cosmetic ingredient 2‐α‐d‐glucosyl glycerol (2GG) by the Pro134Gln variant of sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis is reported. The authors show with detailed characterization and hybrid kinetic modeling that the enzyme variant can improve the 2GG productivity of the biocatalytic process due to its increased ...
