Decoding microbial fructosyltransferases: Structural insights, molecular engineering, and biotechnological applications.
Fructosyltransferase (FTF), classified within glycoside hydrolase families GH32 and GH68 of the GH-J clan, plays an indispensable catalytic role in the biosynthesis of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fructan polymers (such as inulin and levan). These enzymes specifically catalyze fructosyl transfer reactions, construc...
