Abstract excerpt
Glycosynthases are engineered glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that catalyse the synthesis of glycoside from glycosyl-fluoride donors and suitable acceptors. We have determined five crystal structures of the glycosynthase mutants reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase, an inverting GH, that exhibit various levels of glycosynthetic activities. At the active site of the Y198F mutant, the most efficient...
