Turanose is an analog of sucrose that is not metabolized by higher plants but is used as a carbon source by many bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. It is taken up into plant cells by sucrose transporters and is involved in intracellular sugar signaling.

The substrate specificity of honeybee alpha-glucosidase I, a monomeric enzyme was kinetically investigated. Unusual kinetic features were observed in the cleavage reactions of sucrose, maltose, p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside, phenyl alpha-glucoside, turanose, and maltodextrin (DP = 13). At relatively high substrate concentrations

Amylosucrases are sucrose-utilizing α-transglucosidases that naturally catalyze the synthesis of α-glucans, linked exclusively through α1,4-linkages. Side products and in particular sucrose isomers such as turanose and trehalulose are also produced by these enzymes. Here, we report the first structural and

We have previously described the presence of haemagglutinins in tissues of the tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and determined their sugar specificities by inhibition experiments. In this study, haemagglutination inhibitory sugars are shown to have an effect in vivo on the abundance
Activities of acid and neutral alpha-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.3 and EC 3.2.1.20, respectively) were compared in human lymphocytes and granulocytes. As shown by means of antibodies to acid alpha-glucosidase, this enzyme prevailed in lymphocytes while in granulocytes it constituted only a
