Enzymatic synthesis of dextran.
Dextran, a glucose polymer composed predominantly of ol-1,6-glucopyranosidic linkages, is produced from sucrose by Leuconostoc mesenteroides and related organisms and from dextrins by other bacteria (see the review by Hehre (1)). Conversion of sucrose to dextran is catalyzed by an enzyme, dextransucrase, elaborated by the organisms. Dextransucrase preparations as culture filtrates (2, 3) or as ...
متن کاملStudies on the enzymatic systhesis of dextran from sucrose.
The syntheses of dextrans (l-5) and levans (6-10) from sucrose by enzymes from certain bacteria and the syntheses of glycogens and starches from glucose-l-phosphate by phosphorylases from yeast (11) and animal (12-15) and plant (16, 17) tissues have a fundamental point of similarity in that, with all of them, the substrate contains the basic unit of the final polymer product in the form of a gl...
متن کاملEnzymatic and chemo-enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates
Carbohydrate-mediated biochemical recognition processes are potential targets for drug development. The synthesis of complex carbohydrates and related structures, however, has been a difficult task, especially from practical point of view. New solutionand solidphase methods based on enzymatic and a combined enzymatic and chemical procedure have recently been developed for the practical synthesi...
متن کاملDextran Nanoparticle Synthesis and Properties
Dextran is widely exploited in medical products and as a component of drug-delivering nanoparticles (NPs). Here, we tested whether dextran can serve as the main substrate of NPs and form a stable backbone. We tested dextrans with several molecular masses under several synthesis conditions to optimize NP stability. The analysis of the obtained nanoparticles showed that dextran NPs that were synt...
متن کاملEnzymatic Synthesis of Carotenes
The pathway of carotene biosynthesis from isopentenyl pyrophosphate in tomato fruit plastids has been established, except for minor details, through the conversion of radioactive sub— strates and intermediates to acyclic and cyclic carotenes in cell—free systems. After the pathway of carotene biosynthesis was established attention was turned to the isola— tion and purification of enzymes of car...
