The production of prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) by the β-galactosidase catalysed
conversion of lactose has become commercially important. Yet it remains a challenge to …

Abstract β-Galactosidases, an important class of glycosidases, naturally catalyze the
hydrolysis of β-galactosidic bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Traditionally …

Substrate side chain conformation impacts reactivity during glycosylation and glycoside
hydrolysis and is restricted by many glycosidases and glycosyltransferases during catalysis …

Background Molecular docking methods are commonly used for predicting binding modes
and energies of ligands to proteins. For accurate complex geometry and binding energy …

Dtur_0462 gene from the hypertermophilic bacterium Dictyoglomus turgidum, encoding a β-
glucosidase, was synthetically produced and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)-RIL …

Forty years of discoveries and research on imino sugars, which are carbohydrate analogues
having a basic nitrogen atom instead of oxygen in the sugar ring and, acting as potent …

Crystal structures of native and α‐d‐galactose‐bound Bacillus circulans sp. alkalophilusβ‐
galactosidase (Bca‐β‐gal) were determined at 2.40 and 2.25 Å resolutions, respectively …

Bacteria species involved in degradation of cellulosic substrates produce a variety of
enzymes for processing related compounds along the hydrolytic pathway. Paenibacillus …

The aphid Brevicoryne brassicae is a specialist feeding on Brassicaceae plants. The insect
has an intricate defence system involving a β-d-thioglucosidase (myrosinase) that …

We have determined the crystal structure of Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) β-
galactosidase (Tr-β-gal) at a 1.2 Å resolution and its complex structures with galactose, IPTG …
