Abstract

The nonnucleophilic mutant E383A β-glucosidase from Streptomyces sp. has proven to be an efficient glycosynthase enzyme, catalyzing the condensation of α-glucosyl and α- galactosyl fluoride donors to a variety of acceptors. The enzyme has maximal activity at 45° C, and a pH-dependence reflecting general base catalysis with an apparent kinetic pKa of 7.2. The regioselectivity of the new glycosidic linkage depends unexpectedly on the ...
