β-Fructofuranosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of the table sugar sucrose into fructose and glucose. [1] [2] Alternative names for β-fructofuranosidase EC 3.2.1.26 include invertase, saccharase, glucosucrase, β-fructosidase, invertin, fructosylinvertase, alkaline invertase, and acid invertase.
The glycosyl hydrolase 68 family includes several bacterial levansucrase enzymes, and invertase from Zymomonas. Levansucrase ( EC 2.4.1.10 ), also known as beta-D-fructofuranosyl transferase, catalyses the conversion of sucrose and (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)(N) to glucose and (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)(N+1), where other sugars can also act as fructosyl ...
The enzyme involved in this reaction is called invertase, and it is the enzyme the kinetics of which have been supported by Michaelis and Menten to be revolutionary for the kinetics of other enzymes. While expressing the rate of the reaction studied, they derived an equation that described the rate in a way which suggested that it is mostly ...
These enzymes have a variety of uses including degradation of plant materials (e.g., cellulases for degrading cellulose to glucose, which can be used for ethanol production), in the food industry (invertase for manufacture of invert sugar, amylase for production of maltodextrins), and in the paper and pulp industry (xylanases for removing ...
In enzymology, a sucrose:sucrose fructosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.99) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. 2 sucrose D-glucose + beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→1)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside
In enzymology, a 2,1-fructan:2,1-fructan 1-fructosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.100) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction [beta-D-fructosyl-(2->1)-]m + [beta-D ...
Fructolysis refers to the metabolism of fructose from dietary sources. Though the metabolism of glucose through glycolysis uses many of the same enzymes and intermediate structures as those in fructolysis, the two sugars have very different metabolic fates in human metabolism.
Fructan beta-(2,6)-fructosidase (EC 3.2.1.154, beta-(2-6)-fructan exohydrolase, levanase, 6-FEH, beta-(2,6)-D-fructan fructohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic ...
