The present article comprehensively reviews the macromolecular synthesis using enzymes
as catalysts. Among the six main classes of enzymes, the three classes, oxidoreductases …

Bacteria have acquired sophisticated mechanisms for assembling and disassembling
polysaccharides of different chemistry. α-d-Glucose homopolysaccharides, so-called α …

α-Glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) is synthesized from 5%(w/v) corn starch and 1 M phosphate
mediated by α-glucan phosphorylase (αGP) from the thermophilic bacterium Thermotoga …

The relationship between two aminopolysaccharide stereoisomers, namely α-(1→ 4)-and β-
(1→ 4)-linked (N-acetyl)-D-glucosamine polymers, is of significant interest within the field of …

Among carbohydrate active enzymes, glycoside phosphorylases (GPs) are valuable
catalysts for white biotechnologies, due to their exquisite capacity to efficiently re-modulate …

In this review article, the precise synthesis of functional polysaccharide materials using
phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic reactions is presented. This particular enzymatic …

Abstract α-Glucan phosphorylases (α-GPs) catalyze the reversible phosphorolysis of α-1, 4-
linked polysaccharides such as glycogen, starch, and maltodextrins, therefore playing a …

In this paper, we report that polysaccharide substrates bearing 2‐deoxygenated amylose
chains are hydrophobic. A pure partially 2‐deoxygenated amylose was synthesized by the …

Glycogen-like glucan (GnG) is a unique hyperbranched polysaccharide nanoparticle which
is drawing increasing attention due to its biodegradability and abundant short branches that …

Glycogen-like glucan (GnG), a hyperbranched glucose polymer, has been receiving
increasing attention to generate synthetic polymers and nanoparticles. Importantly, different …
