As prebiotics, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) can improve the intestinal flora and have important applications in medicine. β-galactosidases could promote the synthesis of GOSs in lactose and catalyze the hydrolysis of lactose.

The synthesis of disaccharides, particularly those containing hexofuranoside rings, requires a large number of steps by classical chemical means. The use of glycosidases can be an alternative to limit the number of steps, as they catalyze the formation ...

The glycosidases within GH5-23 cleave the glycosidic bond of β-glucosylated or rutinosylated flavonoids. Moreover, by virtue of their transglycosylation activity, glycoconjugates with glucosyl and rutinosyl moieties are accessible.

Trapping and Characterization of the Reaction Intermediate in Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase by Use of Activated Substrates and a Mutant Enzyme [PDF]
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) catalyze the degradation of starch into linear or cyclic oligosaccharides via a glycosyl transfer reaction occurring with retention of anomeric configuration.

Optimized Biocatalytic Synthesis of 2‐Selenopyrimidine Nucleosides by Transglycosylation** [PDF]
Abstract Selenium‐modified nucleosides are powerful tools to study the structure and function of nucleic acids and their protein interactions. The widespread application of 2‐selenopyrimidine nucleosides is currently limited by low yields in established synthetic routes.

Catalysis by hen egg-white lysozyme proceeds via a covalent intermediate [PDF]
Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was the first enzyme to have its three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray diffraction techniques(1). A catalytic mechanism, featuring a long-lived oxo-carbenium-ion intermediate, was proposed on the basis of model ...

α-Glucosidase and β-glucosidase from psychrotrophic strain arthrobacter sp. C2-2
In this work six psychophilic and psychrotrophic bacterial strains were screened for the presence of different glycosidase activities (α-galactosidase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, α-mannosidase and β-glucuronidase).

Environmentally benign glycosylation of aryl pyranosides and aryl/alkyl furanosides demonstrating the versatility of thermostable CGTase from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. [PDF]
International audienceAn extensive study on the specificity of transglycosylation and disproportionation of Thermoanaerobacterium sp. cyclodextrin glucosyltranferases against aryl glucopyranosides or furanosides was achieved. While a mixture of maltoside

Characterization and immobilization of engineered sialidases from Trypanosoma rangeli for transsialylation [PDF]
A sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18; GH 33) from non-pathogenic Trypanosoma rangeli has been engineered with the aim of improving its transsialylation activity.
