Heparin is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan isolated from animal tissues and is
medically used as an anticoagulant drug. Adulteration attempts of isolated heparin with …

Uridine diphosphate-glucose dehydrogenase (UGD) is an enzyme that produces uridine
diphosphate-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA), which is an intermediate in glycosaminoglycans …

UDP-Xyl, a nucleotide sugar involved in the biosynthesis of various glycoconjugates, is
difficult to obtain and quite expensive. Biocatalysis using a one-pot multi-enzyme cascade is …

Two putative α-mannosidase genes isolated from the rather unexplored soil bacterium
Solitalea canadensis were cloned and biochemically characterised. Both recombinant …

ABSTRACT Maltose phosphorylases (EC 2.4. 1.8) catalyze the reversible conversion of
maltose to glucose and glucose-1-phosphate in the presence of inorganic phosphate …

The biosynthesis of UDP-xylose requires the stepwise oxidation/decarboxylation of UDP-
glucose, which is catalyzed by the enzymes UDPglucuronic acid dehydrogenase (UGD) and …

Background: The biosynthesis of NDP-glucoses is based on the nucleotide transfer from
NTP donor substrates to glucose-1-phosphates catalyzed by glucose-1-phosphate …

Two putative α-D-galactosidases (α-GALs) belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 27, and
originating from the rather unexplored bacterial strain Pedobacter heparinus, were cloned …

Background: The biocatalytic oxidation of UDP-glucose in the presence of NAD+ is
catalyzed by UDP-glucose dehydrogenases. Objectives: The main objective of this study …

The enzymatic modification of glucosamine (GlcN) and its derivatives have a keen interest
for researchers due to the natural abundance of its bio-sourced such as chitin. The recent …
