糖生物学相关的酶
酶在糖生物学中扮演着一些关键的角色。例如,转移酶参与了复杂碳水化合物的合成。此外,碳水化合物还由糖苷酶代谢,并受到多种酶(包括硫酸酯酶)的修饰。因此,这些酶可作为有用的工具,以便了解碳水化合物的结构与功能。例如,它们可用于描绘或确定目的寡糖的结构,或调控碳水化合物结构,以了解它如何应用其生物学功能。
Glycobiology-related Enzymes
Enzymes play several crucial roles in glycobiology. For instance, transferases are involved in complex carbohydrate synthesis. In addition, carbohydrates are metabolized by glycosidases and modified by a variety of enzymes including sulfatases. As a result, these enzymes may be utilized as useful tools to understand carbohydrate structure and function. For example, they may be used to delineate or determine the structure of an oligosaccharide of interest, or modulate carbohydrate structure to see how it impacts its biological functions.
