Sucrose synthase (OcSUS1) derived from orange catalyzes the reversible conversion between sucrose and UDP-glucose, serves as an efficient biocatalyst for nucleotide sugar synthesis, and provides a cost-effective approach for UDP-sugar production in glycoengineering.
Applications
Sucrose synthase (OcSUS1) serves as a biocatalyst for UDP-sugar synthesis detection kits and nucleotide sugar preparation assay reagent development.
