Identification of sucrose synthase from Micractinium conductrix to favor biocatalytic glycosylation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4.1.13) is a unique glycosyltransferase (GT) for developing cost-effective glycosylation processes. Up to now, some SuSys derived from plants and bacteria have been used to recycle uridine 5′-diphosphate glucose in the ...

Biosynthesis of glycogen from uridine diphosphate glucose [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1959 Abstract An enzyme which leads to the formation of glycogen according to the equation: UDPG + primer → UDP + glucosyl α (1 → 4) primer has been studied. The optimal conditions for activity were determined with a partially purified preparation from rat muscle.
