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

Glucansucrases are extracellular enzymes that synthesize a wide variety of α-glucan
polymers and oligosaccharides, such as dextran. These carbohydrates have found …

In the last decade, carbohydrate microarrays have been core technologies for analyzing
carbohydrate-mediated recognition events in a high-throughput fashion. A number of …

Carbohydrates and their conjugates are involved in various biological events, including viral
and bacterial infection, the immune response, differentiation and development, and the …

This review gives an overview of enzymatic reactions that have been conducted on
substrates attached to solid surfaces. Such biochemical reactions have become more …

The importance of post-translational glycosylation in protein structure and function has
gained significant clinical relevance recently. The latest developments in glycobiology …

Enzyme-catalysed reactions in which substrates are bound (immobilised) to solid surfaces
are becoming increasingly important in biotechnology. There is a general drive for …

The growing recognition of the roles of carbohydrates in fundamental biological processes
and their potential application as functional foods and new therapeutics have generated a …

Carbohydrate arrays (glycoarrays) have recently emerged as a high-throughput tool for
studying carbohydrate-binding proteins and carbohydrate-processing enzymes. A number of …

Many lactic acid bacteria produce extracellular α-glucan polysaccharides using a
glucansucrase and sucrose as glucose donor. The structure and the physicochemical …
