Fructosyl transferases

In enzymology, enzymes that add a fructose group to a molecule are called ''fructosyl-transferases'', ''beta-D-fructofuranosyl transferases'' or ''fructotranferases''. Examples are: *
aldose beta-D-fructosyltransferase In enzymology, an aldose beta-D-fructosyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :alpha-D-aldosyl1 beta-D-fructoside + D-aldose2 \rightleftharpoons D-aldose1 + alpha-D-aldosyl2 beta-D-fructoside Thus, the two substrate ...

Inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming) The enzyme inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming) () catalyzes the following process: :Produces α-D-fructofuranose β-D-fructofuranose 1,2′:2,1′-dianhydride (DFA I) by successively eliminating the diminishing (2→1)-β-D-fructan (inulin) ...

Levan fructotransferase (DFA-IV-forming) The enzyme levan fructotransferase (DFA-IV-forming) () catalyzes the following process: :Produces di-β-D-fructofuranose 2,6′:2′,6-dianhydride (DFA IV) by successively eliminating the diminishing (2→6)-β-D-fructan (levan) chain from the te ...
*
Levansucrase Levansucrase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :sucrose + (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n \rightleftharpoons glucose + (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n+1 Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sucrose and (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n, where ...
