Abstract excerpt
Twelve different amino acids were each substituted for threonine-654 in a cloned glucansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1118. Both the native and the cloned enzyme with threonine at position 654 produced a water-insoluble glucan containing approximately 44 mol% 1,3-disubstituted α-D-glucopyranosyl units and 29 mol% 1,6-disubstituted α-D-glucopyranosyl units. Several substitutions yielded an enzyme...
