Increased amylosucrase activity and specificity, and identification of regions important for activity, specificity and stability through molecular evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Amylosucrase is a transglycosidase which belongs to family 13 of the glycoside hydrolases and transglycosidases, and catalyses the formation of amylose from sucrose. Its potential use as an industrial tool for the synthesis or modification of polysaccharides is hampered by its low catalytic efficiency on sucrose alone, its low stability and the catalysis of side reactions resulting in sucrose isomer formation....
