Abstract excerpt
Among members of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family, sucrose isomerase (SIase) and oligo-1,6-glucosidase (O16G) are evolutionarily closely related even though their activities show different specificities. A gene (Avin_08330) encoding a putative SIase (AZOG: Azotobacterglucocosidase) from the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii is a type of pseudo-SIase harboring the "RLDRD" motif, a SIase-specific...
