- A
glucan is a
polysaccharide derived from D-glucose,
linked by
glycosidic bonds.
Glucans are
noted in two forms:
alpha glucans and beta
glucans. Many...
- Beta-
glucans, β-
glucans comprise a
group of β-D-glucose
polysaccharides (
glucans)
naturally occurring in the cell
walls of cereals, bacteria, and fungi...
- Oat β-
glucans are water-soluble β-
glucans derived from the
endosperm of oat
kernels known for
their dietary contribution as
components of
soluble fiber...
- α-
Glucans (alpha-
glucans) are
polysaccharides of D-glucose
monomers linked with
glycosidic bonds of the
alpha form. α-
Glucans use
cofactors in a cofactor...
-
enzyme glucan 1,4-β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.74), also
known as 4-β-D-
glucan glucohydrolase,
catalyses the
hydrolysis of (1→4)-linkages in 1,4-β-D-
glucans and...
-
systematic name 3-α-D-
glucan 3-glucohydrolase. It
catalyses the
hydrolysis of
terminal (1→3)-α-D-glucosidic
links in (1→3)-α-D-
glucans. It does not act on...
