Abstract Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4. 1.13) is a glycosyltransferase (GT) long known
from plants and more recently discovered in bacteria. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible …

Fusion proteins, understood as those created by joining two or more genes that originally
encoded independent proteins, have numerous applications in biotechnology, from …

The aim of this review is to discuss the accomplishments made in the area of the
stereoselective formation of a 1, 2-cis glycosidic bond. Importance of this subject derives …

The many carbohydrate chains on Covid-19 coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its S-protein form
a glycan-shield that masks antigenic peptides and decreases uptake of inactivated virus or S …

Over the past few years, industrial interest in biocatalysts that perform selective oxidative
reactions has increased significantly.[1] Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) have …

A significant percentage of eukaryotic proteins contain posttranslational modifications,
including glycosylation, which are required for biological function. However, the …

Pili of Neisseria meningitidis are a key virulence factor, being the major adhesin of this
capsulate organism and contributing to specificity for the human host. Pili are post …

Regeneration of sugar nucleotides is a critical step in the biosynthetic pathway for the
formation of oligosaccharides. To alleviate the difficulties in the production of sugar …

The growing demand for enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals has impelled research on
enzymes as catalysts for asymmetric synthetic transformations. However, the use of …

A bifunctional aldolase/kinase enzyme named DLF has been constructed by gene fusion
through overlap extension. This fusion enzyme consists of monomeric fructose‐1, 6 …
