  • Title: Study on splitting of sucrose glycoside bonds by beta-fructosidase of Aspergillus niger VKM F-801.
    Author: Korneeva OS, Zherebtsov NA, Cheremushkina IV, Ukhina EY.
    Journal: Biochemistry (Mosc); 1998 Oct; 63(10):1220-5. PubMed ID: 9864459.
    Abstract:
    Functional groups of beta-fructosidase of Aspergillus niger VKM F-801 were identified. Based on the pH dependence of the enzyme, the calculated heat of ionization, the photoinactivation of the enzyme in the presence of methylene blue photosensitizer, and also the enzyme inactivation by diethyl pyrocarbonate, the catalytic center of the beta-fructosidase was found to include carboxyl and imidazole groups of amino acid residues. The glycoside bond in the sucrose molecule is apparently cleaved by the catalytically active carboxylate--imidazole pair.
