| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glycosidation is one of the important modification methods for useful compounds, and is known as a modifier of the solubility, stability, absorbability, and taste quality. In this study, we aimed to approach the molecular mechanism for transglycosylation reaction and to obtain the mutant enzymes having effective activity for transglycosylation, based on the structural information of a maltotriose-forming amylase. As a result, we succeed the identification of the amino acids involving maltotriose-specific cleavage and the acquisition of the mutant enzymes with extreme high transglycosylation activity.
