Abstract excerpt
Glucan formation catalyzed by two GH-family 70 enzymes, Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F dextransucrase and L. mesenteroides NRRL B-1355 alternansucrase, was investigated by combining biochemical and kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzymes and their respective products. Using HPAEC analysis, we showed that two molecules act as initiator of polymerization: sucrose itself and glucose produced by...
