PURIFIED SACCHAROSE SYNTHASE, PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION AND ITS USE

摘要

Nucleotide sugars, especially UDP, ADP, CDP or TDP saccharoses can be enzymatically obtained by the reaction of nucleoside diphosphates with di or trisaccharides with a saccharose synthase in which the virtual absence of nucleoside phosphatases (0.1 % or less) can be ensured by special purification methods and sensitive detection. The purification of the raw extract, obtained preferably from rice grains, comprises especially the application of the ultra-filtered extract containing 50 mM KCl with a pH 8 on a sepharose Q column and a gradient elution out of the column at a pH 8 with 50 to 500 mM KCl.
